Personality differences of offenders and nonoffenders. Academic Article

abstract

• Discriminant analysis was used to isolate the similarities and differences between offenders and nonoffenders. 114 public offenders and 152 college students were administered the Thorndike Dimensions of Temperament. One discriminant function ( p < .0001) was obtained. The weights indicated that the responsible, sociable, accepting, ascendant and tough-minded dimensions separated the two groups.
