Abstract

Background: Corporeality is an important element of the self structure. Tattoos have been associated with self-esteem, identity diffusion, and aggression.PARTICIPANTS AND PROCEDURE: Convicted modified (n = 78; 78.8%) and non-modified men (n = 21; 21.2%) completed the following research tools: the Aggression Severity Scale from the Inventory of Personality Organization (IPO), the Group Identification Scale, the Identity Fusion Scale, a measure of identity fusion, and an agency scale.

Results: Body modifications were a weak predictor (5%) of aggression intensity among male prisoners. About 20% of the study participants, regardless of having a body modification, presented aggression characterized by severe personality pathology.

Conclusions: Nowadays, body modifications should not be treated as an indicator of severe psychopathology and more aggressive relations with others, including among convicted men. In prisoners who presented high levels of aggression, identity diffusion was observed and treated as a form of adaptation, characteristic for borderline personality integration.

身体是与他人关系的反映

背景:物质性是自我结构的重要组成部分。纹身与自尊、身份扩散和攻击性有关。参与者和程序:被定罪者(n = 78;78.8%)和未修改的男性(n = 21;21.2%)完成了以下研究工具:人格组织量表(IPO)中的攻击严重程度量表、群体认同量表、身份融合量表(身份融合量表)和代理量表。结果:身体修饰是男性囚犯攻击强度的弱预测因子(5%)。大约20%的研究参与者，不管身体是否被改造过，都表现出了严重的人格病理特征。结论:如今，身体修饰不应被视为严重精神病理和与他人更具攻击性关系的指标，包括在被定罪的男性中。在表现出高度攻击性的囚犯中，身份扩散被观察到并被视为一种适应形式，是边缘型人格整合的特征。
