Hostile interpretation bias has been identified as a candidate for explaining emergent adolescent antisocial personality problems and aggression, but it is unclear whether offenders and non\u2010offenders show differences in the relationships between hostile interpretation bias, aggression and antisocial personality features.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Aims<\/jats:title><jats:p>To compare relationships between hostile interpretation bias and a personality measure between incarcerated teenagers and first year university students and to explore aggression and criminal history as mediating or moderating variables.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>Fifty\u2010three 16\u201318\u2010year\u2010old incarcerated male offenders and 69 17\u201320\u2010year\u2010old male university students were recruited, the former through institutional staff and the latter by online advert only. Individuals in both groups self\u2010rated, in private, on the Word and Sentence Association Paradigm\u2010hostile (WSAP), The Ambiguous Intentions Hostility Questionnaire (AIHQ), Hostility Interpretation Bias Task (HIBT) as tests for hostile interpretation bias, and on the Buss\u2010Perry Aggression Questionnaire and on Hyler's Personality Disorder Questionnaire (PDQ\u20104). Among the students, criminal history was assessed by a self\u2010reported binary question. LASSO regressions were used to test inter\u2010relationships between hostile interpretation bias and aggression or antisocial personality traits. Mediation and moderation were tested using MPLUS 7.4.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>The WSAP and AIHQ, as measures of self\u2010reported hostility bias, had relationships with self\u2010reported aggression (Pearson <jats:italic>r<\/jats:italic> 0.24\u20130.58, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u00a0&lt;\u00a00.001) and with antisocial personality features (<jats:italic>r<\/jats:italic> 0.36\u20130.50, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u00a0&lt;\u00a00.001), the HIBT did not. Aggression scores mediated the relationship between hostile interpretation bias and antisocial personality features. Furthermore, the relationship between hostile interpretation bias and aggression was stronger among the young offenders (estimates 0.43\u20130.75) than among the university students without criminal history (estimates 0.13\u20130.36).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>Hostile interpretation bias appears to promote antisocial personality features by increasing an individual's aggression, regardless of social status, although the effect was much stronger among the young offenders. To reduce young people's antisocial personality features, future studies should perhaps focus on evaluating strategies to reduce hostile bias or prevent it from being expressed in aggressive behaviours.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1002\/cbm.2275","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,2,8]],"date-time":"2023-02-08T03:46:17Z","timestamp":1675827977000},"page":"9-21","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["A comparison of the role of aggression in the association between hostile interpretation bias and antisocial personality features between young offenders and university students"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"33","author":[{"given":"Lizu","family":"Lai","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Psychology Central China Normal University  Wuhan China"},{"name":"Key Laboratory of Adolescent CyberPsychology and Behavior (CCNU) Ministry of Education  Wuhan China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8053-3274","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Manqi","family":"Cai","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Psychology Central China Normal University  Wuhan China"},{"name":"Key Laboratory of Adolescent CyberPsychology and Behavior (CCNU) Ministry of Education  Wuhan China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Cailing","family":"Zou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Psychology Central China Normal University  Wuhan China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ziyi","family":"Zhao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Psychology Central China Normal University  Wuhan China"},{"name":"Key Laboratory of Adolescent CyberPsychology and Behavior (CCNU) Ministry of Education  Wuhan China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Lin","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Psychology Central China Normal University  Wuhan China"},{"name":"Key Laboratory of Adolescent CyberPsychology and Behavior (CCNU) Ministry of Education  Wuhan China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Zhihong","family":"Ren","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Psychology Central China Normal University  Wuhan China"},{"name":"Key Laboratory of Adolescent CyberPsychology and Behavior (CCNU) Ministry of Education  Wuhan China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,2,7]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_8_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/9781119057574.whbva001"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/cbm.683"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.avb.2011.03.005"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1037\/0022-3514.63.3.452"},{"issue":"2","key":"e_1_2_8_6_1","article-title":"Package \u2018pwr\u2019","volume":"1","author":"Champely S.","year":"2018","journal-title":"R Package Version"},{"issue":"2","key":"e_1_2_8_7_1","article-title":"Don\u2019t you dare look at me, or else: Negative and aggressive interpretation bias, callous unemotional traits and type of aggression","volume":"2","author":"Cima\u2010Knijff M.","year":"2014","journal-title":"Journal of Child and Adolescent Behavior"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/13546800600787854"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_9_1","volume-title":"Aggression and antisocial behavior in children and adolescents: Research and treatment","author":"Connor D.
