Resumen

El objetivo de esta investigación fue identificar la sintomatología psicopatológica y la tipología de conducta agresiva (expresiva e instrumental) más característica en aquellos individuos que presentaron un mayor riesgo de violencia en una muestra de delincuentes. La muestra se compuso de 285 varones ingresados en prisión con edades de entre los 20 y los 67 años (M= 34,73; DT= 10,34) y se dividió en tres grupos en función del riesgo de violencia (alto, moderado y bajo). Los instrumentos utilizados fueron el “Cuestionario de 90 síntomas revisado” (SCL-90-R), el “Cuestionario de agresión instrumental y expresiva” (CAIE) y el “Cuestionario de autovaloración” (SAQ). Los resultados mostraron que, a medida que la muestra presentó mayor riesgo de violencia, también fueron mayores los niveles de sintomatología psicopatológica, así como de comportamiento agresivo expresivo e instrumental, aunque la pertenencia a los grupos de riesgo moderado y alto fue mayormente predicha por el psicoticismo y la agresión expresiva. Por tanto, se puede tomar el riesgo de violencia moderado como suficiente para establecer medidas de prevención e intervención en esta población.
