It is particularly important to study the underlying processes of the dysfunctional personality patterns and of antisocial behaviour in the prison population, to identify them and to analyse the functioning of the psychological mechanisms involved in these constructs. The main goal of this study was to analyse dysfunctional personality patterns, Dark Triad, moral disengagement mechanisms and their relationship with violence and recidivism. Participants were 63 incarcerated offenders in two prisons. The study found a higher degree of moral disengagement in the participants convicted for crimes involving the use of violence. The results indicated that antisocial and aggressive-sadistic tendencies were the dysfunctional personality traits most strongly associated with moral disengagement. The binary logistic regression analysis showed that the variables, which influenced recidivism in criminal behaviour, were the use of violence in the crime committed, antisocial personality traits, and advantageous comparison and dehumanisation as mechanisms of moral disengagement.

研究监狱人口中功能失调的人格模式和反社会行为的潜在过程，识别它们并分析这些结构所涉及的心理机制的功能尤为重要。本研究的主要目的是分析功能失调的人格模式、黑暗三合会、道德脱离机制及其与暴力和累犯的关系。参与者是两所监狱的 63 名被监禁的罪犯。该研究发现，因涉及使用暴力的罪行而被定罪的参与者的道德脱离程度更高。结果表明，反社会和攻击性施虐倾向是与道德脱离接触最密切相关的功能失调的人格特征。
