This study examines the relationship between type of offence and the attributions offenders make about their criminal act. The subjects were 98 Icelandic criminals who had completed the Gudjónsson Blame Attribution Inventory. Significant differences in attribution were found between offender groups. Sex offenders and those who had committed acts of interpersonal violence reported most guilt about their offence and they attributed cause for their offence more to mental factors (eg, loss of self-control) than other types of offender. Violent offenders had the highest external attribution and sex offenders the lowest. The findings with regard to the three attributions are remarkably similar to those found previously for British offenders.
本研究考察了犯罪类型与罪犯对其犯罪行为的归因之间的关系。研究对象是98名冰岛罪犯，他们完成了古德扬松罪责归因量表。在不同犯罪群体之间发现了归因上的显著差异。性犯罪者和那些实施过人际暴力行为的人对自己的罪行表示出最多的愧疚，并且与其他类型的罪犯相比，他们将犯罪原因更多地归结于心理因素（如，失去自我控制）。暴力犯罪者的外部归因最高，而性犯罪者的外部归因最低。关于这三种归因的研究结果与之前针对英国罪犯的研究结果非常相似。
