Trois heures pour installer Linux (suite)…

Monday, June 30th, 2008

Suite de ce billet.

D'une source proche du dossier, les 3h passées par l'expert pour installer GNU/Linux sont dues pour 2h20 à l'installation d'un matériel wifi non supporté nativement. L'installation du reste du système n'a pris que 40 minutes, soit la durée normale pour ce type d'installation.

Un commentateur fournit également le lien du jugement que vous trouverez sur le site de l'AFUL.

An investigation of psychopathic features among delinquent girls

Saturday, June 28th, 2008

An article that caught my eye in the latest issue of Youth Violence and Juvenile Justice:

Although there has been intense interest in the application of the construct of psychopathy among juveniles, few studies have investigated psychopathic traits among adolescent females. To redress this, this study examines psychopathic features and tests their utility in predicting violent behavior, theft, and drug abuse in a statewide survey of 94 female juvenile offenders. Results indicate that interpersonal and affective facets of psychopathy, specifically narcissism and carefree nonplanfulness were significantly associated with violence and theft. Psychopathy features were not significantly associated with drug abuse. Study limitations and implications for future research are delineated.

I do like the term “carefree nonplanfulness”. It’s part of the Psychopathic Personality Inventory, which “is one of several self-report psychopathy
measures available for research purposes” (Long & Titone, 2007, p.124). Carefree nonplanfulness “measures the tendency to live in the moment and ignore the future”. But I do wonder what “careful nonplanfulness” might measure. Or “carefree planfulness”.
You can access the article on psychopathy among female juveniles via this link (subscription required for full text). Other articles in the same issue cover predictors of police contact among Midwestern homeless and runaway youth; implementing effective community-based prevention programs; classification of offenders; and the impact of reentry services on juvenile offenders’ recidivism .
