Abstract

The purpose of the present study was to report on a pilot study using a personality-based classification of a community-based sample of 298 adolescent males with harmful sexual behaviours (AHSB) using the Millon Adolescent Clinical Inventory (MACI). Three personality-based profile types were identified using cluster analysis: Cluster 1. Detached, a detached and socially isolated type (n = 97); Cluster 2. Offending Supportive, an antisocial, offending-supportive type (n = 73); and Cluster 3. Typical Teen/Restricted, a type with few clinically elevated personality characteristics (n = 128). Further analyses indicated significant differences among the personality-based profiles on the MACI subscales that measured response styles, adolescents' concerns and clinical problems. Few statistically significant relationships between the profile types and AHSB, offence and victim characteristics were found. The clinical implications of these findings are discussed, and the need for further research on the use of personality-based classification is recommended.

新西兰有有害性行为的青少年:基于个性分类的评估是否有助于指导治疗干预?

本研究旨在报告一项试点研究的结果，该研究使用米隆青少年临床量表（Millon Adolescent Clinical Inventory，MACI）对社区中 298 名有有害性行为（AHSB）的青少年男性样本进行了基于人格的分类。通过聚类分析，确定了三种人格特征类型：聚类 1.离群型，离群且与社会隔绝的类型（n = 97）；群组 2.支持犯罪型，反社会、支持犯罪型（n = 73）；第 3 组。典型青少年/受限型，这种类型的人几乎没有临床上突出的人格特征（n = 128）。进一步的分析表明，基于人格特征的 MACI 分量表在测量反应方式、青少年关注的问题和临床问题方面存在显著差异。在统计意义上，我们几乎没有发现性格特征类型与 AHSB、犯罪和受害者特征之间的关系。本文讨论了这些研究结果的临床意义，并建议有必要进一步研究基于人格的分类方法。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
