Sažetak
Aim To examine the relationship between the Big-Five
personality model and autodestructive behavior symptoms,
namely Autodestructiveness and Suicidal Depression
in two groups of participants: clinical and non-clinical
adolescents.
Methods Two groups of participants, clinical (adolescents
with diagnosis of psychiatric disorder based on clinical impression
and according to valid diagnostic criteria, N = 92)
and non-clinical (high-school students, N = 87), completed
two sets of questionnaires: the Autodestructiveness Scale
which provided data on Autodestructiveness and Suicidal
Depression, and the International Personality Item Pool
(IPIP), which provided data on the Big -Five personality dimensions.
Results Clinical group showed significantly higher values
on the Autodestructiveness scale in general, as well as on
Suicidal Depression, Aggressiveness, and Borderline subscales
than the non-clinical group. Some of the dimensions
of the Big-Five personality model, ie, Emotional Stability,
Conscientiousness, and Agreeableness showed significant
relationship (hierarchical regression analyses, P values for β
coefficients from <0.001 to 0.021) with Autodestructivness
and Suicidal Depression, even after controlling for the sex
and group effects or, when analyzing Suicidal Depression,
after controlling the effect of other subscales.
Conclusion The results indicate that dimensions of the
Big-Five model are important when evaluating adolescent
psychiatric patients and adolescents from general population
at risk of self-destructive behavior.
