Depressive symptomatology and suicidal behavior were evaluated in a multiethnic sample of 48 delinquent females through ratings on self-reports and probation officers' reports. Psychological functioning of the subjects was also evaluated through the Diagnostic Interview for Borderlines, the Rorschach, and the WAIS or WISC-R in order to identify delinquent personality patterns. Four personality patterns were identified: the borderline, the antisocial, the neurotic, and the socialized delinquent personalities. A chi-square analysis of the data demonstrated that level of depression and frequency of suicidal behavior were both significantly related to personality patterns. Level of depression was also significantly related to ethnicity, but not to socioeconomic status. The results have implications for assessment and treatment of delinquent females and also raise issues concerning the interaction of personality, cultural factors, and delinquent behavior which should be addressed in future research with larger, socioculturally diverse samples.
通过对自我报告和缓刑官报告的评估，对一个多民族的 48 名犯罪女性样本进行了抑郁症状和自杀行为评估。还通过边缘性诊断访谈、罗夏墨迹测验和 WAIS 或 WISC-R 评估了受试者的心理功能，以确定犯罪人格模式。确定了四种人格模式：边缘型、反社会型、神经质和社会化的犯罪人格。数据的卡方分析表明，抑郁程度和自杀行为的频率都与人格模式显著相关。抑郁程度也与种族显著相关，但与社会经济地位无关。结果对犯罪女性的评估和治疗具有意义，也提出了人格、文化因素和犯罪行为相互作用的问题，这应该在未来更大的、社会文化多样化的样本的研究中得到解决。
