Violent Crime, Sociopathy and Love Deprivation among Adolescent Delinquents.

Walsh, Anthony; Beyer, J. Arthur

Adolescence, v22 n87 p705-17 Fall 1987

Examined relationships between performance-verbal (P-V) discrepancy scores on Wechsler Intelligence Quotient Scales, love deprivation, and juvenile delinquency among 131 male juvenile probationers. P-V discrepancy scores were significantly related to love deprivation and violent crimes, supporting assertion that early emotional stresses affect subsequent autonomic nervous system function.
