Description
- Abstract
-
This questionnaire evaluates, through two differentiated factors, the behavioral tendency of the individual in relation to disruptive patterns, understood as antisocial and criminal behavior by means of 40 items of dichotomous response, resulting in an effective test for the measurement of the construct.
- Psychometric characteristics
-
Adaptation article references:
Criterial validity: Both in the scale of measurement of antisocial and criminal behavior, the scores of the experimental group were higher than the level of confidence in relation to those of the control group, which was used as a result of the discriminative capacity of the instrument to differentiate between the groups.
Analysis of variance: As the incidence of the criterion decreases in the subject, the average scores in both scales are lower, so it was interpreted as an index of validity of the instrument to differentiate criterial groups. - No. of items
