Abstract

The crime rate has been increasing in recent years, and antisocial behavior has gradually increased. A number of factors, including environment, location and quality of life, determine people's understanding of antisocial behaviour. Most of the data are related to personality. This paper summarizes some important personality theories: Myers-Briggs Type Indicator, Big Five personality (Extraversion, Agreeableness, Conscientiousness, Neuroticism and Openness to Experience), and Dark Triad personality(psychopathy, narcissism and Machiavellianism). On the basis of providing the theoretical framework of these personality theories, this article will also focus on the influence of these personality characteristics on antisocial behavior and their relationship to the behavior such as individual behaves arrogantly, lacks empathy will directly related as dark triad personality and affect some antisocial behavior such as persuasion and deception. Besides, this article will also analysis the propose of feasible measures and solutions to reduce the occurrence of antisocial behavior such as do some sitcoms to let people know this behavior, know the harm of this behavior, so as to prevent it.
