Abstract The objective of the study was to identify the correlation between antisocial-criminal behavior and automatic thoughts in a sample of 355 high school students from the district of Comas, Lima (Peru) under a non-experimental design of transectional-correlational type and the application of the validated versions of the Questionnaire (AD) Antisocial-criminal behaviors and the Inventory of Automatic Thoughts. The typing of 7 types of automatic thoughts was carried out according to the theoretical framework proposed and the empirical evidence. Finally, a significant mid-level correlation was found between antisocial-criminal behaviors and types of automatic thinking: guilt, interpretation of thought, filtering, fallacy of change and catastrophic vision. These results will allow the development of preventive strategies more appropriate to the school context and the early detection of antisocial behaviors that affect their development.
