Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate the role of social capital and personality traits (narcissism, socio-partisan and psychopathy) in predicting subversive behaviors (demolition of public property) in adolescents. Methodology The present study was a descriptive correlational study. The statistical population of this research includes all male high school students in Ardabil city during the academic year of 2017-2018, 200 of whom were selected by random cluster sampling and were selected by the social capital questionnaire (2005), Dark personality inventory (2010) and researcher-made subversive behaviors (vandalism) questionnaire. Data were analyzed using correlation test and multiple regression analysis. The results showed that there is a negative and significant relationship between social capital and subversive behaviors, and there is a positive and significant relationship between the dark personality of narcissism and machoism with subversive behaviors. Also, the results of multiple regression analysis showed that the linear combination of social capital and personality traits (narcissism, socialization, and maxi-ilism) could predict %20 of the variance of subversive behaviors in adolescents. Regarding the role of social capital in reducing subversive behaviors and the direct and significant role of dark-personality traits in predicting subversive behaviors in adolescents, it is suggested to propose ways to strengthen social infrastructure for adolescents, as well as adolescents with dark personality characteristics And prone to malicious behaviors, to be trained.
