摘要
The aim of this research was to assess the joint influences of personality factors (extraversion (E), neuroticism (N), and psychoticism (P)), family control (parental inductiveness, punitiveness, and love withdrawal), and delinquent companionship on males' self-reported delinquency. Respondents were two groups of 13-year-olds (n = 110 and n = 89). Structural equation modelling showed that personality and delinquent companionship consistently had direct effects on self-reported delinquency. It is concluded that this study provides important evidence on the interplay between personality and environmental factors on delinquency. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
