Abstract: | An Impulsiveness inventory was completed by 118 boys and 309 girls from London comprehensive schools. Of these, 101 boys and
306 girls also completed the Eysenck Junior Personality Questionnaire and an Antisocial Behaviour Scale. Intercorrelations
of the scores suggest that there is a strong link between antisocial behaviour in children and impulsiveness, as well as psychoticism
or toughmindedness, and a weaker link with venturesomeness, extraversion and lack of empathy. Neuroticism was only slightly
implicated for girls and hardly at all for boys. |
