The current study analyzed the relation between recidivism and self-reported psychopathic traits,
more specifically the callous-unemotional, impulsivity, and narcissism dimensions of the psychopathy
construct. The Antisocial Process Screening Device – Self-Report (APSD-SR) and other selfreport
instruments independently measuring the three different dimensions of psychopathy
(that is, Inventory of Callous-Unemotional Traits, Barratt Impulsiveness Scale-11, Narcissistic
Personality-13) were completed by a sample of incarcerated male juvenile offenders (N = 244) who
were retrospectively classified as recidivists versus non-recidivists. The only statistically significant
relation found between recidivism and self-reported psychopathic traits after controlling for age
and socioeconomic status was with the impulsivity dimension of the APSD-SR. Additionally, results
showed that recidivism was associated with alcohol use but not with drug use or crime seriousness
