“…They state that conduct problems or maladaptive social (criminal) behavior may result from deficient self-regulation skills and negative emotionality. Ljubin-Golub et al [20] underlined the role of temperament in terms of sensation seeking for rather minor juvenile delinquency, but not violent crime.…”

Despite high rates of adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) and personality-related disturbances among delinquent juveniles, associations among ACEs, youth personality, and juvenile crime involvement are still unclear. High-risk samples of institutionalized youth are in specific need of a comprehensive assessment of ACEs and personality features in order to broaden the current knowledge on the occurrence and persistence of juvenile crime and to derive implications for prevention and intervention. We examined a heterogeneous high-risk sample of 342 adolescents (35.1% females, 64.9% males) aged between 12 and 18 years (M = 15.74, SD = 1.61 years) living in child-welfare or juvenile justice institutions regarding cumulative ACEs, psychopathic traits, temperament, and clinical personality disorder ratings, and criminal involvement before and up to 10 years after assessment. We found considerable rates of ACEs, although cumulative ACEs did not predict future crime. Latent Profile Analysis based on dimensional measures of psychopathy, temperament, and personality disorders derived six distinct personality profiles, which were differently related to ACEs, personality disturbances, clinical psychopathology, and future delinquency. A socially difficult personality profile was associated with increased risk of future crime, whereas avoidant personality traits appeared protective. Findings indicate that the role of ACEs in the prediction of juvenile delinquency is still not sufficiently clear and that relying on single personality traits alone is insufficient in the explanation of juvenile crime.

“…Este clúster, con respecto a las conductas delictivas, es el que ha informado más ocurrencias -no violentas y violentas-lo que converge con la literatura (Vize et al, 2018;Vize et al, 2019) y parcialmente con la hipótesis H4, según la cual el clúster con indicativos de peor adaptación social, desde las subescalas de personalidad, presentarían los más elevados niveles en las variables de conducta delictiva. La hipótesis fue corroborada parcialmente porque se esperaba que el clúster "Baja Confianza" también presentase el más bajo promedio en Amabilidad (Jolliffe, 2013;Ljubin-Golub et al, 2017).…”

La delincuencia juvenil en Brasil genera preocupación –sobre todo los actos cometidos por jóvenes con patrones deconducta delictivas más graves (violentas) y persistentes, las cualesse asocian a rasgos de personalidad específicos. El objetivo de este estudio es comparar niveles de conducta delictiva en adolescentesescolares brasileños, agrupados según los aspectos depersonalidad de socialización, desde una muestra de 467 adolescentes varones. Se identifican tres clústeres desde las puntuaciones en Amabilidad (S1), Prosocialidad (S2) y Confianza (S3). Sabiendo que las puntuaciones más elevadas sugieren mayor adaptación social, el Clúster 1, “Baja Confianza” (C1; n=134), presenta los promedios más bajos en Prosocialidad, además del más bajo promedio en Confianza y de los mayores promedios en conductas delictivas. El Clúster 2, “Alta Socialización” (C1; n=185) presenta los mejores indicadores de adaptación social, lo que se refleja en menos auto informes de conductas delictivas. Finalmente,el Clúster 3, “Baja Amabilidad” (C3; n=148), presenta un historial de conducta semejante al clúster “Alta Socialización”, pero con algunos indicios de subgrupo con mayor implicación en conductas delictivas. Los resultados denotan variaciones en la muestra estudiada, en las ocialización (desarrollo psicológico), y en la manifestación de conductas delictivas.

“…The distinction between different types of violations is common in the literature ( Reason, 1990 ). The sixth factor – “Risks” – is conceptually similar to sensation and risk seeking ( Zuckerman, 2015 ), which is related to delinquency ( Ljubin-Golub et al, 2017 ) and to involvement in accidents ( Zhang et al, 2019 ). Our data is congruent with Reason’s (1990) original theoretical distinction between lapses, mistakes, and violations, and expands it to everyday environments.…”

Behavioral failures can serve as precursors for accidents. Yet, individual differences in the predisposition to behavioral failures have predominantly been investigated within relatively narrow parameters, with the focus limited to subsets of behaviors or specific domains. A broader perspective might prove useful in illuminating correlations between various forms of accidents. The current research was undertaken as one step toward developing the concept of behavioral failures proneness in its multidimensional aspect. We report the initial stage of the development and validation of the Failures Proneness questionnaire (FP): a brief, multifaceted, self-report scale of common behavioral failures in everyday settings. In a preliminary phase we conceived an extensive pool of prospective items. Study 1 identified and validated the factor-structure of FP and reduced the scale to a brief measure of 16 items. Study 2 corroborated the factor structure of the FP and evaluated its construct validity by assessing its relationship with the Five Factor Model (FFM) of personality traits. Study 3 tested the criterion-related validity of the FP by assessing its ability to predict deviant behaviors. These studies provide evidence of the FP’s performance in generating valuable information on a broad range of behavioral antecedents of accidents.
