The current study provides a precise understanding of how characteristics of personality relate to specific antisocial behaviors. This study also provides more conclusive results in regards to the 2003 study performed by Miller, Lynam, and Leukefeld. In particular, the author examined the relationships between both domain and facet-level characteristics as defined by the Five Factor Model of Personality and specific antisocial behaviors. A self-report Antisocial Behavior Checklist (ABC) and M5 Questionnaire were administered in a counterbalanced order in group sessions to participants enrolled in introductory psychology classes. The purpose of this study was to identify multiple relationships between specific antisocial behaviors and both broad personality domains and explicit lower-level facets of the FFM. To determine these relationships two different sets of correlations were conducted. First, results from Pearson correlations were performed at both the domain and facet-levels to determine the relationships between personality characteristics defined by the FFM of personality and specific antisocial behaviors. Results identified four significant correlations between the Conscientiousness and Neuroticism domains, and three specific antisocial behaviors. Results also identified several significant relationships between facet-level characteristics from the Conscientiousness, Agreeableness, and Neuroticism domains and 12 specific antisocial behaviors. Second, results from two sets of canonical correlations were performed at both the domain and facet-levels to better determine the relationship between antisocial behaviors and personality at the descriptive level. Both analyses identified significant results between antisocial behaviors and personality characteristics. Furthermore, these analyses helped to determine specific patterns of relationships within the data when comparing all 20 antisocial behaviors with the 5 domains and 30 facets of the FFM of personality.
