The study was conducted to examine the personality profile of prisoners in the Yasooj Central Penitentiary (YCP) according to Cattell's 16 Personality Factors (PFs) Model.
In doing so, 50 prisoners were selected from among all 20-35-year-old male prisoners at YCP. Moreover, 50 people were selected from the nonprison community to match with the prisoner group.
In a causal-comparative study, both groups were matched and were evaluated using two questionnaires: demographic information and Cattell's 16-PF questionnaires.
The statistical method used to predict the distinguishing personality traits of the two groups, prisoners and nonprisoners, was discriminant analysis.
The results indicated that from among Cattell's 16 factors, only 7 factors in the two groups were discriminant and predicting crime: Conservative, sober, expedient, self-control, imaginative, reserved, and tough mindedness.
According to the results, 16 main factors of personality have the ability to predict crime.
本研究旨在根据卡特尔16种人格因素模型，考察亚苏吉中央监狱（YCP）囚犯的人格特征。
为此，从YCP所有20至35岁的男性囚犯中选取了50名囚犯。此外，从非监狱社区选取了50人以与囚犯组进行匹配。
在一项因果比较研究中，对两组进行匹配，并使用两份问卷进行评估：人口统计学信息问卷和卡特尔16种人格因素问卷。
用于预测囚犯和非囚犯两组人格特征差异的统计方法是判别分析。
结果表明，在卡特尔的16种因素中，两组之间只有7种因素具有判别性并能预测犯罪：保守、冷静、权宜、自我控制、富有想象力、内向、意志坚强。
根据研究结果，166616种主要人格因素具有预测犯罪的能力。
