The present study investigated the relationship between offender type and personality in 21 juvenile males adjudicated for crimes of a sexual nature and 30 juvenile males adjudicated for nonsexual offenses including Possession of Narcotics, Burglary, Criminal Mischief, Assault, and other crimes involving property. Subjects who were aged 13 to 17 years (mean age 15) and committed to the State of Connecticut, Long Lane School, were administered the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory-Adolescent (MMPI-A). Scores on Psychopathic Deviate and Schizophrenia scales contributed most to the juveniles being classified as sex offenders, whereas scores on Hysteria and Psychasthenia contributed primarily to subjects being classified as nonsex offenders. A single discriminant function attained statistical significance, thereby correctly classifying 77% of the nonsex offenders and 71% of the sex offenders. Results indicate that sex offenders may be distinguished from nonsex offenders according to clinical scales of the MMPI-A.
本研究调查了21名因性犯罪被判定有罪的青少年男性和30名因非性犯罪（包括持有毒品、入室盗窃、破坏公物、袭击以及其他涉及财产的犯罪）被判定有罪的青少年男性的犯罪类型与人格之间的关系。年龄在13至17岁（平均年龄15岁）且被送往康涅狄格州朗巷学校的受试者接受了明尼苏达多相人格调查表青少年版（MMPI-A）测试。精神病态偏差量表和精神分裂症量表的得分对将青少年归类为性犯罪者的贡献最大，而癔症量表和神经衰弱量表的得分主要促成将受试者归类为非性犯罪者。一个单一的判别函数具有统计学意义，从而正确地将77%的非性犯罪者和71%的性犯罪者进行了分类。结果表明，根据MMPI-A的临床量表，可以将性犯罪者与非性犯罪者区分开来。
