Resumo: | The main purpose of this study was to test the adequacy of a causal model to explain socially deviant behavior (i.e. antisocial and criminal behavior), taking into account the contribution of personality traits (neuroticism, extraversion, and sensation seeking). To this end, 755 high school and undergraduate students participated, most of them female (50.3%) and from private schools/universities (53%), with ages ranging from 16 to 26 (average=20.1; standard deviation=3.12). They answered a questionnaire in which three different measures were incorporated: Big Five Inventory, Sensation Seeking Scale, and Antisocial and Criminal Behavior Questionnaire. The main results demonstrated that the traits of neuroticism and sensation-seeking satisfactorily explained the antisocial behavior, and these directly predicated criminal behavior. It was confirmed that the personality traits, especially sensation seeking, are helpful in the understanding ofsocially deviant behavior. However, the need for further studies incorporating other variables and contexts should be emphasized. |

Para tanto, participaram 755 estudantes do Ensino Médio e Superior, sendo a maioria do sexo feminino (50,3%), de escolas privadas (53,0%) e com idades variando de 16 a 26 anos (média=20,1; desvio-padrão=3,12). Estes responderam ao Inventário dos Cinco Grandes Fatores de Personalidade, à Escala de Busca de Sensações e ao Questionário de Condutas Anti-Sociais e Delitivas. Os principais resultados indicaram que os traços neuroticismo e busca de sensações explicam satisfatoriamente as condutas anti-sociais, e estas predizem diretamente as condutas delitivas. Neste aspecto, conseguiu-se constatar que os traços de personalidade são úteis ao entendimento das condutas socialmente desviantes, com especial destaque para o traço busca de sensações. Destaca-se, no entanto, a necessidade de estudos posteriores considerando outras variáveis e contextos.Núcleo de Editoração - PUC-Campinas2008-03-31info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionArtigosapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.puc-campinas.edu.br/estpsi/article/view/6971Psychological Studies; Vol. 25 No. 1 (2008): Estudos de Psicologia (Campinas)Estudos de Psicologia; Vol. 25 Núm. 1 (2008): Estudos de Psicologia (Campinas)Estudos de Psicologia; v. 25 n. 1 (2008): Estudos de Psicologia (Campinas)1982-0275reponame:Estudos de Psicologia (Campinas)instname:Pontifícia Universidade Católica de Campinas (PUC-CAMPINAS)instacron:PUC_CAMPporhttps://periodicos.puc-campinas.edu.br/estpsi/article/view/6971/4549Copyright (c) 2022 Tatiana Cristina VASCONCELOS, Valdiney Veloso GOUVEIA, Carlos Eduardo PIMENTEL, Viviany Silva PESSOAhttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessVASCONCELOS, Tatiana Cristina GOUVEIA, Valdiney Veloso PIMENTEL, Carlos Eduardo PESSOA, Viviany Silva 2024-04-24T19:38:35Zoai:ojs.periodicos.puc-campinas.edu.br:article/6971Revistahttps://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:2024-04-24T19:38:35Estudos de Psicologia (Campinas) - Pontifícia Universidade Católica de Campinas (PUC-CAMPINAS)false |
