This study addresses the question whether temperament and character differ between antisocial incarcerated girls with and without psychopathy. Furthermore, it enquires whether this model discriminates between groups with varied psychopathy symptoms.
170 incarcerated girls aged 14 to 17 years were examined using the German version of the Junior Temperament and Character Inventory (JTCI 12-18) and the Psychopathy Checklist Youth Version (PCL:YV). On the basis of the PCL:YV scores the girls were divided into three high-scoring psychopathy groups and compared to a group without psychopathy.
Three-quarters of the juvenile criminals did not show psychopathy; the percentage of those scoring high on the psychopathy core dimensions was only 7%. With the aid of Cloninger's model of personality, differences in the psychopathy groups as compared to the nonpsychopathy group were identified regarding the dimensions novelty seeking, reward dependence, cooperativeness and self-transcendence. However, specific relationships between individual psychopathy dimensions and the JTCI-factors could not be identified.
The results confirm the existence of the psychopathy construct in female delinquents, though the percentage of girls with core psychopathy dimensions is very small. The differentiating temperament factors found among girls scoring high on psychopathy dimensions as opposed to girls without psychopathy indicate that psychopathy is a valid construct that can identify a specific subgroup of antisocial girls with core psychopathy symptoms.
本研究探讨了患有和未患有精神病态的反社会被监禁女孩在气质和性格上是否存在差异。此外，还研究了该模型是否能区分具有不同精神病态症状的群体。
使用德文版的青少年气质与性格量表（JTCI 12 - 18）和青少年精神病态量表（PCL:YV）对170名年龄在14至17岁的被监禁女孩进行了检查。根据PCL:YV得分，将女孩分为三个高得分精神病态组，并与一个无精神病态组进行比较。
四分之三的青少年罪犯未表现出精神病态；在精神病态核心维度上得分高的比例仅为7%。借助克隆宁格的人格模型，发现与非精神病态组相比，精神病态组在寻求新奇、奖励依赖、合作性和自我超越等维度上存在差异。然而，无法确定个体精神病态维度与JTCI因素之间的具体关系。
结果证实了女性 delinquents 中存在精神病态结构，尽管具有核心精神病态维度的女孩比例非常小。在精神病态维度得分高的女孩与无精神病态的女孩之间发现的气质差异因素表明，精神病态是一种有效的结构，可以识别出具有核心精神病态症状的特定反社会女孩亚组。
