ALFAGEME REDONDO, S.; QUESADA PALACIOS, C.  and  DOMINGUEZ MORENO, A.. Relation between prison factor and personality dimensions’ Eysenck extraversion and neuroticism. Cuad. med. forense [online]. 2018, vol.24, n.1-2, pp.14-22.  Epub Sep 21, 2020. ISSN 1988-611X.

One of the hypothesis which are being considered in order to explain the connection between the low scores in the extroversion (E) dimension and the high scores in the neuroticism (N) dimension from the Eysenck psychobiological pattern and the criminal behaviour, respectively, is the influence of the period of imprisonment. In the present study, a correlated research of dimensions E and N with the period of imprisonment of individuals has been done by using a heterogeneous sample of 55 imprisoned and free men, to whom the personality test developed by Eysenck EPQ-A was given. The results are indicative of not existing connection between the prolonged period of imprisonment and the dimension E, whereas a connection between the imprisonment and the dimension N does seem to exist. It seems, however, there are variables interceding in these connections.
