Abstract

The goal of the current study was to investigate the relationships between observer-rated skills related to emotional and cognitive regulation post-admission and pre-release in a secure facility and official records of juvenile felony recidivism up to 1 year after release. Data came from a sample of 599 youth in a residential facility in Washington state (84% male; 38% White). Latent change score models indicated that both initial level of emotional regulation skills and improvement in emotion regulation skills while incarcerated were significantly related to lower recidivism. This pattern of findings remained when controlling for length of stay, among other covariates. Follow-up analyses indicated that the results for emotion regulation skills might be driven primarily by monitoring internal and external triggers. Additional research should investigate the connection between emotion regulation skills and juvenile recidivism, with a special focus on trigger monitoring and how to improve those skills.

在押期间情绪调节的改善预示着青少年累犯率的降低

本研究的目的是调查在安全设施中被关押和释放前，观察者评定的情绪和认知调节技能与释放后1年内青少年重罪再犯的官方记录之间的关系。数据来自华盛顿州一家收容机构的599名青少年样本(84%为男性;38%的白人)。潜在变化评分模型表明，服刑期情绪调节技能的初始水平和情绪调节技能的提高与较低的再犯率显著相关。在控制住院时间长短和其他协变量时，这种发现模式仍然存在。后续分析表明，情绪调节技能的结果可能主要由监测内部和外部触发因素驱动。进一步的研究应探讨情绪调节技能与青少年再犯之间的联系，并特别关注触发监测以及如何提高这些技能。
