Abstract

This article is devoted to a little-studied topic in criminal psychology - women who commit serious crimes. This study analyzes the relationship between the complex of personality traits “The Dark Triad” and Aggression and in correlation with the aggression sub-types such as physical aggression, verbal aggression, anger, and hostility. The study was conducted on delinquent women that were sentenced to prison for violent crimes, including murder. The participants were 30 female prisoners from Bulgarian women's prison, aged between 22 and 69 years, (M = 47,36, SD = 11.71). The instruments that were used in the research are the Bulgarian adaptation of the Dark Triad Questionnaire and the Buss and Perry Aggression Questionnaire. Correlation analysis shows that there are significant relationships between scores on the scales of the Dark Triad questionnaire and general aggression. Dark Triad traits are significant predictors of all types of aggression, especially between psychopathic traits and physical aggression. Based on the findings of the study, it can be designed psycho-educational programs to prevent criminal behavior, and psycho-re-educational programs to improve the behavior of delinquent women.

保加利亚监狱中被判暴力犯罪的女性黑暗黑社会与攻击性的关系研究

这篇文章致力于研究犯罪心理学中一个很少被研究的话题——犯下严重罪行的妇女。本研究分析了人格特质综合体“黑暗三合一”与攻击的关系，以及与攻击亚型(身体攻击、言语攻击、愤怒和敌意)的相关关系。这项研究是针对因暴力犯罪(包括谋杀)而被判入狱的犯罪妇女进行的。参与者为30名来自保加利亚女子监狱的女囚犯，年龄在22至69岁之间(M = 47,36, SD = 11.71)。在研究中使用的工具是保加利亚改编的黑暗三合一问卷和巴斯和佩里侵略问卷。相关分析表明，黑暗人格特质量表得分与一般攻击行为存在显著相关。黑暗三合一特征是所有类型攻击的显著预测因子，特别是在精神病态特征和身体攻击之间。根据研究结果，可以设计预防犯罪行为的心理教育方案，以及改善犯罪妇女行为的心理再教育方案。
