Resumo: ObjectiveThe objective was to investigate if perpetrators of sexual offenses against children and nadolescents with and without psychopathy differ regarding cognitive aspects.MethodA total of 30 male inmates participated in the study, divided into two groups: one that included psychopaths and the other with non-psychopaths. The instruments used were: protocol for collecting information on criminal court records; Rorschach test according to the Performance Assessment System, considering the cognitive variables and the Psychopathy Checklist-Revised Scale.ResultsThe results indicate that psychopaths exhibit greater impairment in the organization of thoughts, as well as greater vulnerability to the general personality disruption. The best regression model showed that 55% of psychopathy can be explained by a greater propensity to a general personality disorder (EII-3 β: 4.77; p-value < 0.001), associated with the predisposition to be arrested at a young age (β: -0.26; p-value = 0.004).ConclusionThe efficiency of the R-PAS is observed in the identification of cognitive failures in psychopath perpetrators of sexual violence and perpetrators of sexual violence, and its usefulness is enhanced, when associated with other behavioral measures in the identification of this type of personality profile.

Os instrumentos utilizados foram: protocolo de coleta de informações no processo criminal; teste de Rorschach, de acordo com o Sistema de Avaliação por Performance, considerando as variáveis cognitivas, e; a escala Psychopathy Checklist-Revised.ResultadosOs resultados indicaram que o grupo de psicopatas apresentou maiores prejuízos na organização do pensamento, bem como maior vulnerabilidade à desorganização geral da personalidade. O melhor modelo de regressão identificou que 55% da psicopatia pode ser explicada por uma maior propensão ao desajuste geral da personalidade (EII-3 β: 4.77; p-value < 0.001), associada à predisposição a ser preso ainda jovem (β: -0.26; p-value = 0.004).ConclusãoA eficiência do R-PAS é observada na identificação de falhas cognitivas em psicopatas autores de violência sexual e autores de violência sexual, e sua utilidade é potencializada, quando associada a outras medidas comportamentais na identificação desse tipo de perfil de personalidade.Núcleo de Editoração - PUC-Campinas2023-10-17info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdftext/xmlhttps://periodicos.puc-campinas.edu.br/estpsi/article/view/10049Psychological Studies; Vol. 40 (2023): Estudos de Psicologia (Campinas)Estudos de Psicologia; Vol. 40 (2023): Estudos de Psicologia (Campinas)Estudos de Psicologia; v. 40 (2023): Estudos de Psicologia (Campinas)1982-0275reponame:Estudos de Psicologia (Campinas)instname:Pontifícia Universidade Católica de Campinas (PUC-CAMPINAS)instacron:PUC_CAMPengporhttps://periodicos.puc-campinas.edu.br/estpsi/article/view/10049/7385https://periodicos.puc-campinas.edu.br/estpsi/article/view/10049/7404Copyright (c) 2023 Rodrigo PERISSINOTTO, Ana Cristina RESENDEhttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessPERISSINOTTO, RodrigoRESENDE, Ana Cristina2024-04-23T10:36:29Zoai:ojs.periodicos.puc-campinas.edu.br:article/10049Revistahttps://seer.sis.puc-campinas.edu.br/seer/index.php/estudosPRIhttps://seer.sis.puc-campinas.edu.br/seer/index.php/estudos/oaisbi.ne_estpsi@puc-campinas.edu.br||estudosdepsicologia@puc-campinas.edu.br||psychologicalstudies@puc-campinas.edu.br1982-02750103-166Xopendoar:2024-04-23T10:36:29Estudos de Psicologia (Campinas) - Pontifícia Universidade Católica de Campinas (PUC-CAMPINAS)false
