Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Criminology
  • Forensic Psychology

Background:

  • Antisocial behaviors (ASB) are a significant concern among educated youth.
  • Understanding the psychological underpinnings of ASB is crucial for targeted interventions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the roles of callousness, affective dissonance, and sensation seeking (disinhibition, thrill and adventure seeking) in ASB.
  • To explore gender differences in these relationships.

Main Methods:

  • Online survey administered to a large sample of UK university students.
  • Data from 429 participants were analyzed after screening.

Main Results:

  • Callousness, disinhibition, and affective dissonance significantly predicted both aggressive and non-aggressive ASB.
  • Callousness demonstrated a multidimensional role in predicting ASB.
  • Thrill and adventure seeking showed an interesting relationship with affective dissonance.
  • Significant gender differences were identified.

Conclusions:

  • Findings highlight the complex interplay of psychopathological personality traits (callousness, affective dissonance) and sensation seeking tendencies in ASB.
  • Results have implications for understanding gender-based differences in the etiology of antisocial behaviors.
