Abstract

The aims of this study are to identify the interpersonal value profiles and analyze whether there are differences with respect to behavior and social attitude in a sample made up of 885 Compulsory Secondary Education (ESO) students (14-17 years), of whom 49.8% (n = 441) were males and 50.2% (n = 444) were females. The results show the identification of three different interpersonal value profiles corresponding to different levels of antisocial and criminal behavior. Thus the ARL-BCB (high recognition and leadership low conformity and benevolence) group had the most antisocial and criminal behavior, low levels of social sensitivity, conformity and helpfulness-collaboration, and high levels of dominance, aggressiveness-stubbornness and apathy-isolation. Points that need to be worked on in preventive intervention of antisocial and criminal behavior of students by improving their social attitudes are highlighted.
