TY - JOUR PY - 1982// TI - The Eysenck personality questionnaires and delinquency prediction JO - Personality and individual differences A1 - Putnins, A. L. SP - 339 EP - 340 VL - 3 IS - 3 N2 - The predictive validity of the EPQ scales with regard to future offending was examined. The Junior and Adult EPQ forms were administered to 179 male high-school students (13-15 yrs) and 75 delinquent youths (15-18 yrs), respectively. All subjects were followed up with regard to proven offences committed in the 12-month period following testing. The results suggested that both the junior and adult form P and C scales have validity in predicting future offending.
