Administered the MMPI and elements of a neuropsychological assessment battery to 40 violent and 40 nonviolent adolescent males (M = 14.6 years). Multivariate analysis showed significant differences between groups on neuropsychological tests, but not on the MMPI. Discriminant function analysis indicated that the neuropsychological assessment had greater power to predict group membership of violent and nonviolent Ss than did the MMPI. The results are consistent with the hypothesis that organic impairment contributes to the impulse dyscontrol and associated violent behavior seen in some delinquent adolescents.
对40名暴力青少年男性和40名非暴力青少年男性（平均年龄14.6岁）进行了明尼苏达多相人格测验（MMPI）和神经心理评估组套中的各项测试。多变量分析显示，两组在神经心理测试上存在显著差异，但在MMPI测试上没有差异。判别函数分析表明，与MMPI相比，神经心理评估在预测暴力和非暴力研究对象的组别归属方面具有更强的能力。这些结果与以下假设一致，即器质性损伤导致了一些青少年犯罪者出现的冲动控制障碍及相关暴力行为。
