Resumen

El principal propósito de esta investigación fue evaluar las relaciones de interacción entre una serie de predictores de conducta antisocial previamente identificados en una muestra de 3.186 adolescentes. Sobre ellos se recabó información sobre diversas variables personales y contextuales. Se evaluó la influencia de cada factor y, posteriormente, se evaluó el grado en que algunas características de personalidad modulan la influencia de aspectos familiares, escolares, grupales y socioeconómicos sobre la conducta antisocial y/o delictiva de los muchachos de la muestra. Los resultados se interpretan en relación a la necesidad de superar las perspectivas aditivas no interactivas en el campo. Finalmente, se analizan las implicaciones metateóricas de estos resultados
