Abstract
The objective of this study was to cross-sectionally explore the mediating role of self-serving cognitions in the relationship between antisocial behavior and psychopathic traits. A sample of 970 high school students completed self-report questionnaires assessing antisocial behavior, cognitive distortions, and psychopathic traits. Cognitive distortions partially mediated (and gender moderated) the relationship between antisocial behavior and psychopathic traits. Gender was found to moderate this relationship. Longitudinal studies would permit a fuller understanding of how these relationships interrelate-an understanding that may have important implications for clinical intervention.
