Abstract

The relationship between gender, self-esteem, narcissistic traits, and aggression was evaluated in a sample of justice-impacted youth (JIY). Forty-two audio-recorded interviews ( n = 21 boys; n = 21 girls) with equal representation of low, moderate, and high self-esteem scoring JIY were selected. Narcissistic features could be reliably coded retrospectively; common features included: arrogance, interpersonal exploitation, and lack of empathy or shame. No gender differences emerged in feature frequency or type. Correlational analyses revealed that narcissistic traits were significantly correlated with self-report measures of aggression; only girls evidenced this relationship. A potential gendered relationship between narcissistic features and aggression merits further investigation.

青少年司法样本中性别、自尊、自恋特质与攻击的混合方法探讨

以受正义影响的青少年为研究对象，评估了性别、自尊、自恋特征和攻击行为之间的关系。42次录音访谈(n = 21名男孩;n = 21名女孩)，低、中、高自尊得分JIY的代表性相等。自恋特征可以可靠地进行回顾性编码;常见的特征包括:傲慢、人际剥削、缺乏同理心或羞耻感。在特征频率和类型上没有性别差异。相关分析显示，自恋特征与自我报告的攻击测量显著相关;只有女孩证明了这种关系。自恋特征和攻击性之间潜在的性别关系值得进一步研究。

期刊介绍： The main aim of Feminist Criminology is to focus on research related to women, girls and crime. The scope includes research on women working in the criminal justice profession, women as offenders and how they are dealt with in the criminal justice system, women as victims, and theories and tests of theories related to women and crime. The feminist critique of criminology incorporates a perspective that the paths to crime differ for males and females, thus research that uses sex as a control variable often fails to illuminate the factors that predict female criminality. This journal will highlight research that takes a perspective designed to demonstrate the gendered nature of crime and responses to crime.
