Abstract
For preventing juvenile recidivism and treating criminality of juvenile offenders, this study explored the relationship among features of delinquent conducts, narcissistic personality of juvenile offenders. First, a dependent variable was defined by linearly combining delinquent features of current conduct(s). And then, we investigated the relationship of this variable with narcissistic personality. Finally, we evaluated how delinquent characteristics might be related to narcissistic personality. The major results of this research can be summarized as follows. First, the result indicated there is not any overall significant correlations between narcissistic personality and the features of delinquent conducts. However, significant negative correlations was found among vanity and privilege-consciousness scores, two sub-factors of narcissistic personality scales and criterion variables, delinquent characteristics of current conducts. Second, narcissistic personality, vanity, privilege-consciousness, exploitation and self-centeredness indicated various different relations with delinquency-related features. These results of the present study suggested that narcissistic personality of juvenile offenders might not always make negative effect on actual delinquent behaviors. Thus, with consideration of personality characteristics of juvenile offenders, we could apply more suitable and effective treatments for them.
Abstract
Social image of female murderers is dichotomized into ‘madness or badness'. However, this description is too simple since women who kill husbands have long history of being abused by their spouses. In this country, 82.9% among 133 female inmates who killed husbands at Chungjoo Women's Prison have experience of being abused by their victims and 44.5% among them reported being battered as their major motive of killing spouses. This study intended to explore how battered women's perspectives and psychological features might be changed. Analyzed results present the level of being abused was very serious. As a result, mental health problems got deteriorated. They suffered from psychosomatic symptoms, anxiety, depression, and suicidal temptations. However, their aggression level was not so high compared to general population. This implies their aggression level didn't fit stereotypes of violent murderers. All these characteristics got deteriorated up to respondents' marital duration and intensity of being abused. As being abused got worse, post-traumatic stress disorder became worse and they experience greater danger of their own life and their kids'. These results imply that battered women' killing their spouses might be caused not by insanity but by motive to defend themselves and their kids.
Abstract
This study was examined the sex differences of nonverbal behaviors cues during deception. 62 students participated in the experiment in pairs, with one of them as an subject and the other as an accomplice. 31 subjects(male; 15, female; 16) were led to cheat on an exam and were asked six questions about the exam individually. After separating lie and truth responses to each question, the mean frequency of nonverbal behaviors were compared when they were telling a truth with when they were lying. There were 16 nonverbal behaviors measured by frequency：paralanguage (latency period, high pitch of voice, speech hesitations, speech errors, frequency of pauses), facial characteristics (gaze aversion, smiles, blinking, use of tongues), body movements (illustrators, adaptors, hand and finger movements, leg and foot movements, head movements, trunk movements, shifting positions). The result of the research showed more behaviors of speech hesitations, smiles, illustrators, adaptors and showed less behaviors of speech errors, hand/leg/trunk movements when they were lying than telling a truth. On the other hand, sex differences of nonverbal behaviors during deception were found that female students showed less speech hesitations, hand movements when they were lying.
