ABSTRACT

The relationship between deficits in some executive functions and personality disorders with antisocial behavior provides an essential framework for the legal field and the development of programs for prevention and treatment of violence. However, most studies being conducted about with prison population, and few studies deal with the normal population. The present study attempts to determine whether the relationship between executive functions and personality disorders with antisocial behavior also occur between normal people with antisocial traits. Method: An non-experimental explanatory study was performed. 37 security guards participated in the present study. 21 guards formed the group with high antisocial traits and 16 formed the low antisocial traits group. Executive functions were assessed with the neuropsychological battery of executive functions and frontal lobes; and personality disorders were assessed by the Personality Inventory Assessment; finally the measures of the two groups were compared. Results: Only statistically significant differences between groups (‹0.1) on the functions involved in the orbitofrontal cortex were found. On the other hand, the group with high antisocial traits had higher comorbidity with symptoms of other personality disorders. Conclusions: Identify that there are neurobiological and personality factors asocciated with antisocial behavior in normal people could improve treatment and prevention programs. Practical implications are discussed.
