Abstract
ABSTRACT The current study aims at examining the potential role of light triad traits of personality – Faith in Humanity, Humanism, and Kantianism, – as moderators of the low self-control-antisociality/delinquency links. The sample was composed of 354 adult participants (M = 32.02 years, SD = 13.26 years, range = 18–68 years) from Portugal. Results show that the Kantianism factor and the Light Triad total score significantly moderate low self-control when predicting an antisociality/criminality outcome. Findings suggest that the conceptualization of light triad traits as protective factors for antisocial and criminal behavior are a promising avenue for research, but more investigation is needed about its moderation effects to inform behavioral interventions in forensic settings.
