Modelo ENCUIST: aplicación al perfilado criminal

Abstract

This study falls under the Legal Psychology framework. Within this area, one of the aspects that raises interest is criminal profiling. The ENCUIST model is proposed as the personality model for the realization of the indirect profile of personality, with the inclusion of the variables of extroversion/sensation seeking, neuroticism (anxiety, anger, and disgust), callous unemotional, impulsivity/aggression, and need for cognition. The application of structural equation models analyzes both the direct and indirect influence of these variables on Gray's model (BIS/BAS). The sample consists of 737 subjects to whom the ENCUIST personality test is applied to evaluate the traits mentioned. The results of the research are discussed below.
