Abstract

Purpose

Emerging evidence indicates that incarcerated populations' perceptions of dehumanization by officers are prevalent, yet measures of it are few, and to our knowledge, no self-report measure of dehumanization from officers exists. To fill this gap, we have developed the Perceived Dehumanization from Officers Scale (PDOS), which is designed as a brief measure to assess perception of officer treatment as dehumanizing.

Methods

In this article, we provide preliminary evidence from two studies examining the reliability and validity of the PDOS. In study 1, a jail sample (n = 411), we analyzed the exploratory factor structure, internal consistency, and discriminant validity (in relation to procedural justice [PJ]) of the PDOS. Additionally, using a cross-sectional ordinary least squares (OLS) regression analysis, we related independent variables with the PDOS, the dependent variable. In Study 2, a prison sample (n = 2993), we confirmed the findings from study 1.

Results

The PDOS appears to be a psychometrically sound measure of perceived dehumanization from officers with strong association between perceptions of PJ and perceived dehumanization from officers.

Conclusions

The PDOS provides opportunity for future research, intervention through rehumanization efforts, and signals the important officer treatment. Importantly We close by discussing implications of these studies, limitations, and future research directions to further develop and test the PDOS.

开发和验证军官非人化感知自我报告测量方法

新的证据表明，被监禁者普遍认为受到警官的非人性化对待，但对其进行测量的方法却很少，而且据我们所知，目前还没有关于警官非人性化对待的自我报告测量方法。为了填补这一空白，我们开发了 "感知警官非人性化行为量表"（PDOS），该量表旨在作为一种简短的测量方法，用于评估对警官非人性化待遇的感知。
