Abstract(s)
A presente investigação teve como objectivos analisar a importância relativa dos constructos de autoestima
e de narcisismo e analisar a associação desses constructos com os comportamentos delinquentes
auto-relatados pelos jovens. Recorrendo a 760 adolescentes de ambos os sexos divididos em grupo
forense (n=250) e grupo escolar (n=510) foram feitas comparações relativamente aos dois constructos
e foi elaborado um modelo de regressão múltipla tendo como variável dependente a delinquência
auto-relatada. Os resultados indicam que o grupo forense se caracteriza por ter auto-estima baixa e
narcisismo alto quando comparado com o grupo escolar, que a correlação entre os dois constructos é
quase nula e que a variável narcisismo é a que mais contribui no modelo de regressão múltipla para
a previsão da delinquência auto-relatada.
The purpose of the present study was to analyze the relative importance of the self-esteem and narcissism constructs and to assess the association between these constructs and self-reported criminal behavior. With a total of 760 youths of both sexes divided in a forensic sample (n=250) and a community sample (n=510), comparisons were made with respect to the two constructs and a multiple regression model was estimated having the self-reported delinquency as the dependent variable. The results indicate that the forensic sample is characterized as having low self-esteem and high narcissism when compared to the community sample, that the correlation between the two constructs is almost non-existing, and that narcissism is the variable that contributes the most to the prediction of selfreported delinquency.
