背景:对于有刑事定罪的青少年,取得积极进展,包括不冒犯,可能取决于幸福感。与幸福感增长相关的因素没有得到广泛研究,但是有一些工作表明,其他内部状态以及环境中的素质可能会促进福祉。
目标:为了检查年轻男性监禁罪犯的福祉,以及它与家庭接触频率的关系,对社会教育环境的看法,对未来的感受和自我效能感。
方法:参与者是从巴西利亚联邦区的三个安全教育机构招募的,巴西,由司法秘书处管理。他们被邀请完成匿名自我报告问卷,其中包括心理健康量表,社会教育环境感知量表,关于未来的感觉量表和感知自我效能感的多维量表,并提供有限的社会人口统计数据。
结果:195名年轻男性罪犯参与其中,他们的平均年龄为16.8岁(SD=1.58,范围为14-20)。幸福感和对社会教育环境的感知之间存在正相关关系,对未来的积极感受和自我效能感自我评价。多元线性回归分析证实,家庭接触的频率,对社会教育环境的积极看法,对未来的积极感受,休闲和社交活动中的自我效能感独立地促进了年轻罪犯的福祉。
结论:尽管幸福与不犯罪有关,在巴西的囚犯中,可能导致幸福的因素研究较少,也从未研究过。虽然纵向工作需要确定关系的方向,结果与在世界另一端进行的类似研究大致一致的事实令人鼓舞,这表明了康复的前进方向。有必要制定支持家庭关系,促进个人关系和个人发展的干预措施,不仅有用的技能,而且个人对这些技能的信心。
BACKGROUND: For adolescents who have criminal convictions, achieving a positive progress including desistance from offending may depend on a sense of well-being. Factors associated with growth in well-being are not widely researched, but there is some work that suggests that qualities in other internal states as well as in the environment may foster well-being.
OBJECTIVE: To examine the well-being of young male incarcerated offenders, and its relationship with frequency of contacts with the family, perceptions of socio-educational environment, feelings about the future and self-efficacy.
METHODS: Participants were recruited from three secure education institutions in the Federal District of Brasília, Brazil, under the management of the Secretariat of Justice. They were invited to complete anonymous self-report questionnaires, which included the Psychological Well-Being Scale, the Perception of the Socio-Educational Environment Scale, the Feelings about the Future Scale and the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Self-Efficacy, and to provide limited sociodemographic data.
RESULTS: 195 young male offenders participated and their mean age was 16.8 years (SD = 1.58, range 14-20). There was a positive correlation between well-being and perceptions of the socio-educational environment, positive feelings about the future and self-efficacy self-ratings. Multiple linear regression analyses confirmed that the frequency of family contacts, positive perceptions of the socio-educational environment, positive feelings about the future, and self-efficacy in leisure and social activities independently contributed to the well-being of young offenders.
CONCLUSIONS: Although well-being has been associated with desistance from committing crimes, the factors that may predispose to well-being have been researched less and never before examined among inmates in Brazil. While longitudinal work is needed to be certain of the direction of the relationship, the fact that the results are broadly consistent with a similar study carried out on the other side of the world is encouraging in terms of indicating ways forward in rehabilitation. It is necessary to develop interventions that support family relationships and promote personal relationships and personal development, not only of useful skills but also of personal confidence in those skills.
