Physical Activity in Prisons and the Basic Dimensions of Personality of Men Serving Prison Sentences
Journal Title: Resocjalizacja Polska - Year 2015, Vol 0, Issue 9
Abstract
This article concerns physical activity (PA) in penitentiary institutions, understood as non-rest energetic effort performed by prisoners in their free time. The aim of this study was to determine the personality correlates of PA men serving prison sentences. Questionnaire methods were applied in the studies. One group consisted of men incarcerated in penitentiary institutions (N = 121), who were physically active, and the comparison group were physically inactive prisoners (N = 128) aged from 22 to 55 years old. The study results showed that prisoners regularly participating in programs in the field of physical culture and sports are characterized by higher emotional stability (p < 0.05) and a higher level of extraversion (p < 0.05). However, they do not differ in the level of psychoticism (p = 0.80). This paper is a fragment of larger studies on the psychological correlates of physical activity in penitentiary institutions.
