title: Prisoners' personality: a factor analytically derived structure.
abstract: A factor analytic study of personality questionnaire data obtained from a group of 175 long-term prisoners revealed a factor structure which appears to be peculiar to prisoners. In particular, hostility and anxiety obtain prominence in the structure, while the theoretically significant dimension of extraversion is relegated in importance.
