“…Some characteristics of extraversion (energy and venturesomeness) are associated with physical aggression. High venturesomeness is associated with persistent vandalism and theft, while psychotic features (low empathy and impulsivity) are associated with physical aggression or vandalism, but not with a propensity towards theft (20). Bullying is also a form of antisocial behaviour.…”

“…For the role of a bully/victim, which is characterized by the personality of both the victim and the bully, higher levels of extra-version, psychoticism and neuroticism and lower dissimulation were obtained, while the victims had also higher levels of neuroticism and tendency for dissimulation (21). Impulsivity, as well as the combination of high impulsivity and low anxiety, also increases the risk of antisocial behaviour (20). Impulsive children tend to show a form of sensation seeking behaviour (20).…”

This paper gives a brief insight into the basic concepts of biological theories of personality with the purpose of understanding the personality profile of risk for antisocial behaviour in children and adolescents. The interest for the biological processes underlying the different personality traits and psychopathology in children and adolescents has increased in recent years. Therefore, the aim of this review is to summarize the results of the previous studies on the role of the personality and following neurobiological systems: testosterone, hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal gland axis, autonomic nervous system and monoamine neurotransmitters in violent behaviour in children and adolescents. The effect of interaction of different biological and psychosocial factors, possible interpretations, as well as directions for further investigations are also pointed out. Conclusion -Biological processes play a key role in the genesis of violent behaviour. However, further research should also take into consideration the complexity of their interactive relationship and the impact of various adverse environmental factors.

“…Finally, high psychoticism is also believed to be associated with antisocial behaviour because it describes individuals who are typically egocentric, with reduced sensitivity towards other people's feelings, lack of guilt, and who manifest interpersonal hostility. Unlike the previous traits, psychoticism has gathered more agreement regarding the existence of its strong relation with antisocial behaviour (Carrasco, Barker, Tremblay & Vitaro, 2006;Center & Kemp, 2002;Center, Jackson & Kemp, 2005;Romero et al, 2001). A low score on the Lie scale of EPQ has also been mentioned as a potential characteristic of antisocial individuals, since it may be considered as a measure of socialization and social conformity.…”

“…Indeed, "boys who were more impulsive have a higher risk of developing antisocial behaviour than those who were not impulsive" (Carrasco et al, 2006(Carrasco et al, , p. 1317. Impulsivity is clearly a consensual prominent characteristic of antisocial individuals (Carrasco et al, 2006;Caspi, 2000;Caspi, Henri, McGee, Moffi tt & Silva, 1995;DeLisi & Vaughn, 2008;Dodge et al, 2008;Farrington, 2004;Fonseca & Simões, 2002;Koolhof, Loeber, Wei, Pardini & D'Escury, 2007;Moffi tt, 1993Moffi tt, , 2003Moffi tt, , 2006Romer et al, 2009;Romero et al, 2001;Rutter et al, 1998) and is often mentioned together with references of lack of selfcontrol, weak constraint or failure to delay gratifi cation. Interestingly, as a general trait, impulsivity has been found to decline from adolescence to adulthood (Steinberg et al, 2009), which may imply that, in general, as adolescents grow into adulthood, they will tend to become less prone to antisocial behaviours.…”

Abstract: Our work offers a refl ection on antisocial behaviours in adolescence that seeks to review and synthesize relevant and prominent perspectives on the subject, focusing on those that come from a developmental point of view. Such a framework implies, thus, a description and explanation of the antisocial phenomenon in its history, development and possible outcomes, more specifi cally, its etiology, risk and protective factors, developmental trajectories, manifestations, desistance and persistence mechanisms, and degrees of severity. Therefore, the importance of answering specifi c questions concerning the time at which antisocial manifestations fi rst occur, the origins of such manifestations and the pathways followed before and after is highlighted. In fact, since antisocial acts may take place at different moments in the lifespan, our purpose was to identify the peculiarities of the phenomenon in adolescence, with particular focus on aspects that undergo considerable development at this stage and may play an important role in risk behaviours, namely, future time perspective, self-control, delay of gratifi cation, psychosocial competence and interpersonal relations. The general conclusion of our review shows that several questions remain to be answered, particularly in the Portuguese context. Hence, we present a project of investigation seeking to address some of those issues.
