The present study aimed to explore the link between anxiety, depression, psychological resilience, and somatization in individuals diagnosed with Antisocial Personality Disorder (ASPD), a significant psychiatric condition of both individual and societal importance, whose origins remain unknown. Forty male patients with ASPD and 40 healthy controls participated in this research. Various assessments including Sociodemographic forms, Resilience Scale for Adults (RSA), Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI), and Somatization Scale were administered to all participants. The findings revealed that individuals diagnosed with ASPD exhibited notably lower scores in RSA-structural style, future perception, family cohesion, self-perception, social inadequacy, social resources subscales, and overall RSA-total score compared to the control group. Moreover, the patient group demonstrated significantly higher scores in the Somatization scale, BDI, and BAI compared to the control group. The study also identified significant negative correlations between RSA-total and Somatization scale (r=-0.450, p=0.004), as well as significant positive correlations between Somatization scale and BDI (r=0.644, p<0.05) and BAI (r=0.609, p<0.05). Furthermore, a substantial positive correlation was established between BAI and BDI (r=0.878, p<0.05). In conclusion, individuals with ASPD displayed lower psychological resilience and higher levels of somatization, depression, and anxiety symptoms. Considering these outcomes, the assessment of psychotherapeutic and medical interventions for individuals with ASPD could prove beneficial.
