Abstract
Antisocial attitudes are one of the best predictors of delinquent behavior and thus a primary object of screening and intervention. In an effort to better evaluate those attitudes, the Antisocial Attitudes Assessment Scale (ATSA) was developed for the Romanian adolescents’ population (Vasile, 2009). This paper discusses aspects related to ATSA validity. A sample of 135 high-school students was tested using ATSA and the Zuckerman-Kuhlman Personality Inventory. Significant correlations obtained between the strength of antisocial attitudes and the personality dimensions of impulsivity, aggression-hostility and sociability, as well as gender-related differences, support the construct validity of the scale.
