ABSTRACT

This article examined the problem solving appraisal of male delinquent adolescents and the relationship of problem solving appraisal to narcissistic vulnerability, locus of control, and depression. Results of a canonical correlation analysis revealed a significant relationship between facets of problem solving appraisal to narcissistic vulnerability, depression, and locus of control. A multivariate analysis of variance (Hotelling's T2) found no significant differences in problem solving appraisal between first-time and repeat offenders. Findings of an hierarchical regression revealed that problem solving appraisal in first-time offenders is predicted by narcissistic vulnerability along grandiose and idealizing sectors. Problem solving appraisal for repeat offenders is predicted by narcissistic vulnerability along the idealized sector. Implications for further areasof research and treatment are discussed.
