Antisocial Behaviour in Children and Eysenck's Theory of Personality: An Evaluation.

Center, David B.; Kemp, Dawn E.

International Journal of Disability, Development and Education, v49 n4 p353-66 Dec 2002

Antisocial behavior in children was examined in relation to the personality theory of Hans Eysenck. The theory argues the interaction of Psychoticism, Extroversion, and Neuroticism with socialization experiences produce personality. Eysenck's instruments also contain a Lie scale. A literature review (n=11) supports the role of Psychoticism and Lie in antisocialism. (Contains references.) (Author/CR)
