The present study explores the relation between narcissism and delinquency among 372 at-risk 16-18-year-olds.

Narcissism and self-esteem were positively interrelated; however, only narcissism was signific...

This study sought to examine which factors in childhood predict a repeated diagnosis of CD in adolescence, and whether self-reported delinquent acts enhance the utility of symptoms of CD in predicting later persistent CD.

However, such individual differences may also predispose some youth to struggle more in adverse environments, but also to...
