Aims: Juvenile delinquency has long been of interest to researchers as a behavioral disorder. The purpose of this study was to compare the sensation and paranoid features in delinquent and non-delinquent adolescents.
Materials & Methods: This descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted in 2016 .The research society was all delinquent and non-delinquent adolescents in Khorramabad, Iran, that finally 30 juvenile delinquents and 30 non-delinquents were selected as samples by multi-stage random sampling. Scl-90-R and Zuckerman Sensation Seeking questionnaires were used for data collection. Data were analyzed using multivariate analysis of variance and t-test of independent groups in SPSS 24 software.
Findings: The mean scores of sensation in delinquent and non-delinquent adolescents were 31.43±3.53 and 13.83±2.15 and the results of multivariate analysis of variance indicated that the differences between these scores were significant (F=2; p<0.01). Independent t-test results on paranoid characteristics showed that this index was significantly different among delinquent and non-delinquent adolescents (t=9.53; p<0.01).
Conclusion:  Sensation and paranoid features in delinquent adolescents are higher than non-delinquent adolescents.
