The Psychological Inventory of Criminal Thinking Styles: Part III. Predictive Validity

Glenn D. Walters

Psychology Services, FCI-Schuylldll, P.O. Box 700, Minersville, Pennsylvania 17954-0700, U.S.A.

The predictive validity of the Psychological Inventory of Criminal Thinking Styles (PICTS) was explored in a group of 536 medium-security prison inmates. Scores on six of the eight PICTS clinical scales were observed to correlate with future disciplinary problems in this sample of subjects. Although age was a more potent predict or of disciplinary status, several of the PICS scales displayed predictive efficacy independent of that attained with the age variable. The implications of these results are discussed with respect to continued development of the PICTS instrument.
