This paper examines the distribution of national personality dimensions in geographical space. The relationship between geographical location and aggregate personality in a wide range of nations is quantified using spatial autocorrelation, and it is found that the personalities of nations that are geographical neighbours are more similar than those that are far apart. The five factors of both the Revised NEO Personality Inventory (NEO-PI-R) and the Big Five Inventory (BFI), all show a significant degree of spatial organization. The personality factors most strongly associated with geographical location are NEO-PI-R extraversion and BFI conscientiousness; both vary with position around the globe about as much as the physical climate. These findings support previous research suggesting associations between aggregate personality and geography, and imply that the sources of variation in national personality are themselves geographically organized.

The Child and Adolescent Twin Study in Sweden (CATSS).

Abstract
The Child and Adolescent Twin Study in Sweden (CATSS) is an ongoing longitudinal twin study targeting all twins born in Sweden since July 1, 1992. Since 2004, parents of twins are interviewed regarding the children's somatic and mental health and social environment in connection with their 9th or 12th birthdays (CATSS-9/12). By January 2010, 8,610 parental interviews concerning 17,220 twins had been completed, with an overall response rate of 80%. At age 15 (CATSS-15) and 18 (CATSS-18), twins and parents complete questionnaires that, in addition to assessments of somatic and mental health, include measures of personality development and psychosocial adaptation. Twin pairs in CATSS-9/12 with one or both twins screening positive for autism spectrum disorders, attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder, tic disorders, developmental coordination disorder, learning disorders, oppositional defiant disorder, conduct disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and/or eating problems have been followed with in-depth questionnaires on family, social environment and personality, and subsequently by clinical assessments at age 15 together with randomly selected population controls, including 195 clinically assessed twin pairs from the first 2 year cohorts (CATSS-15/DOGSS). This article describes the cohorts and study groups, data collection, and measures used. Prevalences, distributions, heritability estimates, ages at onset, and sex differences of mental health problems in the CATSS-9/12, that were analyzed and found to be overall comparable to those of other clinical and epidemiological studies. The CATSS study has the potential of answering important questions on the etiology of childhood mental health problems and their role in the development of later adjustment problems.

Elderly Sexual Offenders: Two Unusual Cases*
J Forensic Sci. 2012 Apr 17;
Authors: Carabellese F, Candelli C, Vinci F, Tamma M, Catanesi R
Abstract
  The aim of this case report is to describe two cases of sexual abuse by elderly subjects for which the Judge commissioned an expert psychiatric-forensic opinion. The elderly are generally believed to commit nonviolent crimes, whereas the two cases we observed feature forcible rape committed by elderly offenders, who showed no form of mental disease and had rationally planned their offense. They had never previously committed similar acts and had no history of homosexuality; both had been married for many years before the death of their wives and had adult children. Finally, no previous episodes of rape emerged in their personal histories during interrogations. The sociocultural context in which the crimes were committed was identical and arouses interest as regards both the method employed and how the crimes were discovered. The legal authorities then commissioned accurate investigations including medicolegal and psychiatric-forensic evaluations of the offenders and their victims.

Anders Behring Breivik has told his trial in Oslo that a psychiatric report finding him insane in relation to the 77 killings he carried out was a "lie".

Two reports came to opposing views on his sanity. The court's ruling on this will determine whether Breivik is sent to jail or into psychiatric care.

Breivik, 33, admits to killing 77 people in Oslo and on Utoeya island last July but denies criminal responsibility.

  • Breivik says psychiatric report deeming him insane is full of 'fabrications'

    Anders Behring Breivik, the man behind Norway's terror attacks last summer, said in court today that the psychiatrists made up 80 percent of the report and don't understand politically motivated violence.

    Oslo
    Anders Behring Breivik, the Norwegian behind last summer’s twin terror attacks, today blasted a forensic psychiatric report deeming him insane and warned his actions could be just the beginning of violence in Europe by militant nationalists.
    Skip to next paragraph
    In the sixth day of his court testimony, an adamant – but, as usual, composed – Mr. Breivik told prosecutors that 80 percent of the report by psychiatrists Torgeir Husby and Synne Sørheim, which diagnosed him with paranoid schizophrenia, was fabricated.
    He accused the psychiatrists of being emotionally affected by the July 22 attacks that killed 77, mostly teenagers, and of not having enough knowledge of politically motivated violence to understand his terminology.
    “I got the impression that they concluded very early,” Breivik told public prosecutor Svein Holden, saying the two doctors had constructed their diagnosis to support their conclusion. “That person they describe in the report is not me.”
    He cited an example in which he was portrayed as bacteria-phobic because he sometimes wore a mouth mask while living with his mother after 2006. He told prosecutors he had used a particle-filter mask to protect himself from dust while drilling detonation cases in preparation for his attack.
    He said that what the psychiatrists had experienced as “emotional flatness” was actually part of his military dehumanization training and Bushido meditation to ward off fear in order to prepare for his gruesome attack.
    “Huseby told me about two patients who thought they were Jesus,” he said, referring to their claim he had said he would “single-handedly save” Europe. “I believe he meant that I should be the third case," Breivik said, denying that he ever said the word "save."
    The crux of the case against Breivik hinges on his sanity after two conflicting forensic psychiatric reports. The first concluded in November that Breivik is insane and therefore not criminally punishable, but a second report earlier this month deemed he was not psychotic.
    Breivik has said that he wants to be judged sane so that his anti-Islamic ideology is taken seriously. He admitted responsibility for the attacks, although he pled not guilty, claiming he was acting preventively against the ethnic cleansing of indigenous Norwegians, which was being promoted by the Labor party’s lenient immigration policies that resulted in an influx of Muslims.
    He also criticized the conclusion of the second report, which described him as “narcissistic and dissocial” and dismissed the existence of a Knights Templar group, describing it as “sprung from his fantasy.” Breivik reiterated earlier statements made during testimony that he met with six people connected to a militant nationalist Knights Templar network and said more attacks could come from two others in the network.
    If found sane, Breivik faces a maximum sentence of 21 years in prison for placing a car bomb outside government offices in Oslo, killing eight, and shooting and killing a further 69 on the Labor party’s youth summer camp at Utøya island.
    The effort to determine Breivik’s sanity took an unexpected turn on April 23, when the court asked the second set of psychiatrists, Agnar Aspaas and Terje Tørrisen, to provide a supplementary statement following a request by the Norwegian Board of Forensic Medicine. The board was concerned that Breivik had given strategic replies, and also about the lack of information about his childhood and the period after 2006, when he moved back in with his mother.
    Media outlets have reported, based on leaks from the confidential psychiatric reports, that Breivik was diagnosed as emotionally damaged as early as age four and was near to being forcibly removed from his mother. Breivik has refused to elaborate on his childhood.
    Psychiatrist experts have warned not to read too much into the Forensic Board’s request for more information, as it typically requests additional comments in about one in three cases. The board did not have any comments on the first report in November.
    Judge Wenche Elizabeth Arntzen informed the court today that the psychiatrists would deliver their supplementary report over the weekend. The case is expected to continue this week with testimony by those seriously injured by the government bomb blast.
