Study summary:
This study aimed to identify the significance of the differences in the psychological profile between juvenile delinquents and normal individuals in the Kingdom of Bahrain, as well as to identify the features of the psychological profile that distinguish juvenile delinquents from normal individuals in the Kingdom of Bahrain. The study relied on the descriptive comparative approach, and the study sample consisted of (23) juvenile delinquents and (20) normal individuals in the Kingdom of Bahrain. The average age of delinquents was 14.68 years, and the average age of normal individuals was 14.52 years. The researcher used several personality scales in this study, namely: (Eysenck Personality Questionnaire EPQ, Cornell Personality Scale prepared by Imad Al-Din Sultan and Jaber Abdul Hamid Jaber, and the personality test for adolescents prepared by Attia Mahmoud Hana). This study concluded that there are statistically significant differences between juvenile delinquents and normal adolescents in the personality dimensions of adolescents: sense of self-worth, sense of freedom, sense of belonging, freedom from the tendency to isolation, and freedom from neurotic symptoms in favor of normal individuals, except for the dimension of self-reliance, where the differences were not statistically significant between juvenile delinquents and normal individuals. There were statistically significant differences between juvenile delinquents and normal individuals in the Cornell personality dimensions of fear and incompetence, depression, panic response and startle, psychosomatic symptoms, gastrointestinal symptoms, sensitivity and psychopathic suspicion in favor of juvenile delinquents, while the dimensions of (nervousness and anxiety, nervous symptoms in the circulatory systems, hypochondria) were not statistically significant differences between juvenile delinquents and normal individuals. There were also statistically significant differences between juvenile delinquents and normal individuals in the dimension of neuroticism in favor of juvenile delinquents, meaning that they are higher in neuroticism than normal individuals, while in the dimensions of extroversion and lying, the differences were not statistically significant between juvenile delinquents and normal individuals. It was found that there is a statistically significant effect of demographic variables on the psychological profile of juvenile delinquents, such as: educational upbringing, family relationships, father's marriage to another woman and mother's marriage to another woman, social and economic status, presence of educational disability, addiction, relationship with superiors. It was also found that the variable of relationship with the family had a statistically significant effect on the dimension of sense of belonging, as was found The income variable has a statistically significant effect on the dimension of self-worth, as well as for the following variables: addiction to misdemeanor alone, and misdemeanor with others, it has become clear that they have a statistically significant effect on the dimension of freedom from the tendency to isolation. The presence of sisters in the juvenile's family increases his degree of extroversion, and it has also become clear that for the variable of the juvenile's order among his siblings, it has become clear that this variable has a statistically significant effect on the dimensions of extroversion and neuroticism, meaning that the higher the order of the event (to the last), the higher the degree of extroversion, while for neuroticism, the lower the order of the event to (first), the higher the degree of neuroticism. It has also become clear that the variable of the juvenile committing the misdemeanor alone has a statistically significant effect, meaning that the higher the probability of the juvenile committing the misdemeanor alone, the higher his degree on the extroversion dimension.
