The expected one-factor structure obtained an adequate fit using confirm...

P.; Quintas, JorgeGrasmick et al.’s Low Self-Control Scale (LSCS) is considered the gold-standard of self-control measures due to the frequency of its use in criminology. The aim of the present study is to examine the psychometric properties of the LSCS from a more modern psychometric perspective and develop a shorter version. Our sample consisted of young adults (N=610, M=21.33years, SD=3.09) from Portugal. The six-factor inter...

Pechorro, Pedro; Curtis, Shelby; DeLisi, Matt; Marôco, J. P.; Nunes, CristinaDark Triad traits and self-control are considered viable causal precursors to antisocial and criminal outcomes in youth. The purpose of the present study is to concurrently compare how Dark Triad traits and self-control differ in terms of predicting self-reported juvenile delinquency, CD symptoms, proactive overt aggression, and crime seriousness. The sample consisted of 567 (M = 15.91 years, SD = 0.99 years, a...
