Abstract

This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of Ellis's rational-emotional approach on criminal thinking and law-evasion in male prisoners. A quasi-experimental design utilizing pretest, post-test, and follow-up test and waiting-list control groups was conducted. Thirty male prisoners were selected by purposeful sampling and randomized into experimental and waiting list control groups. Participants of experimental group received 12 sessions of Ellis's rational-emotional approach intervention; and all participants answered to PICTS-L-SF and ABAWS as dependent variables at 3 time points (pretest, post-test, and 1 month follow-up). A repeated measures analysis of variance was used to analyze the data. Results showed criminal thinking and law-evasion in experimental group, as compared to control, at post-test phase was significantly decreased (p < .05); and improvement of dependent variables in the follow-up phase has also been continued (p < .05). Therefore, REBT can be beneficial for reducing criminal and illegal thoughts and behaviors among prisoners.

埃利斯的 "理性-情感方法 "对男性囚犯犯罪思维和违法行为的影响。

本研究旨在探讨埃利斯的理性-情感方法对男性囚犯的犯罪思维和违法行为的影响。研究采用前测、后测、跟踪测试和等待对照组的准实验设计。通过有目的的抽样选取了 30 名男性囚犯，并将其随机分为实验组和等待名单对照组。实验组的参与者接受了 12 个疗程的埃利斯理性情绪方法干预；所有参与者在 3 个时间点（前测、后测和 1 个月随访）回答 PICTS-L-SF 和 ABAWS 作为因变量。数据采用重复测量方差分析法进行分析。结果显示，与对照组相比，实验组的犯罪思维和违法行为在测试后阶段明显减少（P P
