“…Evidence from research among adult forensic patients supporting the uni-or bipolarity of the protective factors is diverse. While some researchers found support for the unipolarity of protective factors (usually investigated in terms of incremental predictive validity) (Abidin et al, 2013;Davoren et al, 2013;De Vogel, de Ruiter, Bouman, & de Vries Robbé, 2009; De Vries Robbé, de Vogel, & Douglas, 2013), in more recent studies, no evidence supports such an approach (Abbiati, Azzola, Palix, Gasser, & Moulin, 2017;Klepfisz et al, 2020;Neil, O'Rourke, Ferreira, & Flynn, 2020;Yoon et al, 2018). In fact, multicollinearity of risk and protective factors seems to be a common issue when investigating both risk and protective factors.…”
