Intensity of Psychopathic Traits among Imprisoned Women Psycho-sociological characteristic
Journal Title: Resocjalizacja Polska - Year 2016, Vol 0, Issue 12
Abstract
The presented study was to assess the level of psychopathic traits in women in Polish prisons and the relationship between that and the conditions of family socialization, interpersonal behavior styles, intensity and forms of aggression, and the hierarchy of values. The participants of the study were female inmates (n = 99) among which three psychopathy intensification groups were distinguished (based on the score in the Psychopathy Checklist – Revised, PCL-R). The following diagnostic tools were used: the Buss-Durkee Aggression Scale (SABD), the Scale of Interpersonal Relations (SUI), the Rokeach Value Survey (SW), and analysis of penitentiary records, a questionnaire, and interview data. The results of the study indicate that with the increasing severity of psychopathic traits in the studied groups, the number of women grew who had experience in their past of staying in institutions or care centers as well as contact with a parent addicted to alcohol. As expected, it turned out that the studied groups differ in terms of manifested forms of aggression (especially physical and verbal aggression), irritation, and interpersonal behavior styles. The hypothesis that there is a relationship between the hierarchy of values and the intensity of psychopathic traits was partially confirmed. Women with a higher severity of psychopathic traits valued family security less in their hierarchy of terminal values.
