- Abstract
The use of methamphetamine (MA) is considered a public health problem worldwide. Numerous studies address the association between the use of MA with aggressive behavior, as well as the study of neurocognitive deficits related to the use MA. However, it is necessary to fully comprehend the association between these main variables and investigate the presence of other factors that could be mediating. This systematic review studies the relationship between violent behavior and the neuropsychological profile in MA users. For this purpose, we used the Scopus, Psycinfo, PubMed and Web of Science databases. We collected information of the evaluation of the violent behavior, the neuropsychological evaluation and the study of mediators. The results indicate a relationship between impulsive behavior and related neuropsychological difficulties (impulses' control, reinforcement delay and cognitive flexibility) with violent behavior in MA users. In addition, there is an influence effect of personality factors and difficulties in emotional regulation and evaluation on the studied relationship.
