ABSTRACT

The objective of this work to investigate the attributional style in terms of internal vs external, stable vs unstable, global vs specific used by antisocial personality disorder prone individuals and normal controls. It comprised 200 subjects (100 males and 100 females) within the age range of 18 to 25 years from a non clinical population. A total score equal to or greater than 3 on ASPD scale of IPDE (International Personality Disorder Examination) was suggestive of the presence of ASPD proneness and ASQ –Attributional Style Questionnaire (Peterson et al., 1982) was used to measure attributional styles. Results indicated that antisocial individuals were low on internality, stability and Globality i.e. they are more external, unstable and specific while evaluating good events. For bad events these individuals are more internal, stable and global as compared to normal controls.
