Abstract(s)
A presente investigação teve como objectivo analisar o papel desempenhado na delinquĂȘncia juvenil
feminina pelos constructos de traços psicopåticos, problemas de comportamento, comportamentos
delinquentes e auto-estima. Recorrendo a 249 jovens do sexo feminino, subdivididas em grupo forense
(n=93) e em grupo escolar (n=156), foram analisadas diferenças a nĂvel de variĂĄveis sĂłcio-demogrĂĄficas,
traços psicopåticos, perturbação do comportamento, problemas de comportamento, comportamentos
delituosos, auto-estima e desejabilidade social. Os resultados indicaram que as jovens do grupo forense
apresentam valores significativamente mais elevados em traços psicopåticos, categoria psicopåtica,
perturbação de comportamento, problemas de comportamento e comportamentos delituosos, mas não
foram encontradas diferenças relativamente a auto-estima e desejabilidade social. Um modelo de
regressĂŁo logĂstica binĂĄria confirmou a importĂąncia dos traços psicopĂĄticos e da categoria psicopĂĄtica
na predição de pertença das jovens aos grupos forense e escolar.
ABSTRACT: The objective of the present study was to analyze the role played by psychopathic traits, behavior problems, delinquent behaviors and self-esteem in female juvenile delinquency. With a total of 249 female participants, subdivided in forensic group (n=93) and school group (n=156), the results showed that youths from the forensic group scored higher on psychopathic traits, psychopathic taxon membership, conduct disorder, behavior problems and delinquent behaviors. No differences were found regarding self-esteem and social desirability. A binary logistic regression model confirmed the importance of psychopathic traits and psychopathy membership as predictor variables.
