“…We found that religious non-believers reported higher levels of psychopathic traits, namely Self-Centered Impulsivity and Coldheartedness, than do religious believers, although only the magnitude for Coldheartedness reached Cohen's cut-off for a small effect size. Although this is the first reported finding of differences in psychopathic trait levels between religious believers and non-believers, it may dovetail with findings of higher levels of disinhibition and antisocial behavior among the latter group (Rohrbaugh and Jessor, 1975 ; Free, 1992 ). It is unclear, however, whether this association is causal (Cochran et al, 1994 ).…”

Although the traits of psychopathic personality (psychopathy) have received extensive attention from researchers in forensic psychology, psychopathology, and personality psychology, the relations of these traits to aspects of everyday functioning are poorly understood. Using a large internet survey of members of the general population (N = 3388), we examined the association between psychopathic traits, as measured by a brief but well-validated self-report measure, and occupational choice, political orientation, religious affiliation, and geographical residence. Psychopathic traits, especially those linked to fearless dominance, were positively and moderately associated with holding leadership and management positions, as well as high-risk occupations. In addition, psychopathic traits were positively associated with political conservatism, lack of belief in God, and living in Europe as opposed to the United States, although the magnitudes of these statistical effects were generally small in magnitude. Our findings offer preliminary evidence that psychopathic personality traits display meaningful response penetration into daily functioning, and raise provocative questions for future research.

“…Religiosity (often times in the literature conceptualized as organizational religious activity, personal religious activities, and intrinsic beliefs) may similarly be protective for impulsivity and impulsivity-related outcomes because it can increase social support, prosocial behavior, self-regulation, and family stability and reduce exposure to substance use before birth and across development (Holmes et al, 2019;Koenig et al, 2020;Marcus & McCullough, 2021). Consistent with this notion, research on adolescents and adults indicates that religiosity is associated with decreased impulsive behavior (Free Jr., 1992;Kim-Spoon et al, 2015;Pearson et al, 1986;Walker et al, 2007). Furthermore, healthy adult controls tend to have both significantly lower impulsivity scores and higher levels of religiosity (defined as organizational activity, private activity, and intrinsic beliefs) and greater prevalence of affiliation than adults with substance use disorders or substance use-related suicide attempts (Caribé et al, 2015;Zilberman et al, 2018).…”

“…Consequently, our review showed that most of the analyzed studies centered on the predictors and correlates of deviance. It highlights their focus on revealing and characterizing the predictors of deviance, mainly using strain theory (Aseltine et al, 2000;Cheung and Cheung, 2010;Adamczyk, 2012;Bruno et al, 2012;Scheuerman, 2019), social control (Free, 1992;Woodward et al, 2001;Jang, 2002;Byrd et al, 2015), social learning theories (Barnes and Farrell, 1992;Benda, 1994;Winfree et al, 1994;Terrell, 1997;Regnerus, 2002), or routine opportunity theories (Osgood et al, 1996;Marcum et al, 2010;Maimon and Browning, 2012b;Ragan et al, 2014;Yuan and McNeeley, 2018). As we observed from the manual analysis of the 488 articles, this is mainly done through quantitative analysis; 348 articles out of 488 were examined using quantitative methods.…”

Adolescent Deviance and Cyber-Deviance. A Systematic Literature Review

et al. 2021

Deviance is a complex phenomenon that influences aspects both at the macro and micro levels, extensively studied by social scientists The main objective of this article was to conduct a systematic literature review for clustering the topics on adolescent deviance and online deviance. Grounded in Pickering's and Byrne's guidelines and PRISMA protocol, we identified the most recurrent themes, theories and predictors in the 61 most-cited articles related to the concept of deviance from the database of Web of Science, as well as in 488 abstracts of representative papers. The results emphasized four main clusters of topics, namely, predictors of deviance, online deviance, socio-constructivist theories, and research based theories of deviant behavior. The findings highlighted that researchers frequently use strain theory, social learning, self-control, and social control theories in their studies. Our systematic literature review revealed also the most encountered predictors of deviance, which we have classified into five main categories: family patterns, socio-demographic aspects, socialization, victimization, and school and individual factors. For online deviance, family patterns, socio-demographic aspects, victimization, school and individual factors, and Internet and computer use have been determined to be the main groups of predictors. The present systematic literature review makes an important contribution to the understanding of deviance by presenting an overview of the phenomenon.
