Deficiencies in recognizing emotions may be an underlying factor of communication problems, insufficient social skills, empathic deficits and aggression. The aim of the study was to assess whether child molesters differ in aggression, the Big Five personality traits, emotional intelligence and recognition of facial expression of emotion in comparison to other offenders. There were not any significant differences between the groups in these variables. Nevertheless, different predictors of aggression were established in each group. Results show that extraversion, neuroticism and recognition of facial expression of emotion may predict aggression of pedophiles.
