The primary purpose of this study was to examine whether a relationship exists between self-reported levels of inattentiveness and hyperactivity/impulsivity on specific scales measuring criminal personality traits in male juvenile offenders. In addition, detailed characteristics of this targeted population were explored. Ninety-eight male juvenile offenders from a juvenile correctional facility in California's Central Valley participated in this study. All participants completed a Demographic Questionnaire, the Conners-Wells' Adolescent Self-Report Scale-Long (CASS-L), and the Carlson Psychological Survey (CPS). The CASS-L was used to measure the participants' perception of specific ADHD symptoms, and the CPS was used to measure the participants' criminal personality traits. Participants ranged in age from 14 to 18 years, with a mean age of 16 years. The greatest proportion of participants self-identified as Hispanic (69.4%). On average, the participants did not view themselves as having significant family problems or emotional problems, but reported anger problems at higher levels and conduct problems at significantly higher levels as compared with the general population. Results suggest that inattentiveness significantly affects the development of criminal personality traits. More specifically, levels of inattentiveness appear to significantly interact with the criminal personality traits of chemical abuse, thought disturbance, and self-deprecation. Clinical significance was not found between self-reported levels of hyperactivity/impulsivity and the combined criminal personality traits. Furthermore, the interaction between hyperactivity/impulsivity and inattentiveness was not statistically significant in predicting the combined criminal personality traits. Implications for positive findings, reasons for negative findings, and suggestions for future research are discussed.
