Previous studies have found emotional behavioural styles among school children in Pakistan and their impact on academic achievement (Javed et al., 1992; Samad et al., 2005; Soomro & Clarbour 2012; Syed et al., 2007; Syed & Hussein, 2009). The main purpose of the study was to extend the investigation to the juvenile offenders to assess the emotional behavioural styles among violent and non-violent juvenile offenders located in the different prisons of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP), Pakistan. T-test and Binary Logistic Regression were used to analyse the data. T-test revealed that there were significant differences among violent and non-violent juvenile offenders on three emotional style factors: malevolent aggression, social self-esteem, and social anxiety. Binary Logistic Regression analysis indicated that violent juvenile offenders exhibited higher levels of malevolent aggression and low levels of social self-esteem and social anxiety than non-violent juvenile offenders. Current study is comparative in nature and may provide empirical evidences for distinguishing between the violent and non-violent juvenile offenders on the basis of emotional behavioural styles and suggest intensive multimodal Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and anger management program to modify the behaviour of violent juvenile offenders.
Estudos anteriores encontraram problemas comportamentais emocionais entre crianças em idade escolar no Paquistão e seu impacto no desempenho acadêmico (Javed et al., 1992; Samad et al., 2005; Soomro & Clarbour 2012; Syed et al., 2007; Syed & Hussein, 2009 ). O principal objetivo do estudo foi estender a investigação aos delinquentes juvenis para avaliar os problemas comportamentais emocionais entre os delinquentes juvenis violentos e não violentos localizados nas diferentes prisões de Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP), Paquistão. O teste T e a Regressão Logística Binária foram utilizados para analisar os dados. O teste t revelou que havia diferenças significativas entre infratores juvenis violentos e não violentos em três fatores de estilo emocional: agressão malévola, autoestima social e ansiedade social. A análise de regressão logística binária indicou que os delinquentes juvenis violentos exibiram níveis mais elevados de agressão malévola e baixos níveis de auto-estima social e ansiedade social do que os delinquentes juvenis não violentos. Esses resultados podem fornecer evidências empíricas para distinguir entre os delinquentes juvenis violentos e não violentos com base em problemas comportamentais emocionais e sugerem Terapia Cognitivo Comportamental (TCC) multimodal intensiva e programa de controle da raiva para modificar o comportamento de delinquentes juvenis violentos.
