Procesos cognitivos distorsionados en la conducta agresiva y antisocial en adolescentes

A review of different theoretical and empirical contributions about the relationship between antisocial behavior in adolescence and distorted cognitive processes, which interfere with the perception and understanding of social events or experiences, is presented in this study. According to different theoretical approaches, it is necessary to take into account a more comprehensive perspective that allows a better conceptualization and characterization of these distorted cognitive processes and, therefore, that clarifies the nature and specific function they play in the explanation of aggressive and antisocial behavior in adolescents.
