This study compared sex differences in theoretically relevant cognitive-behavioral treatment concepts in a sample of 1,189 male and 300 female offenders participating in a prison-based substance abuse treatment program. Multivariate analysis of variance was used to examine the differences between men and women in the areas of motivation, self-efficacy, and coping styles. The results show that the women reported a greater recognition of having a substance use problem, less self-efficacy to remain abstinent in high-risk situations, and greater reliance on the coping strategies of seeking support, accepting responsibility, and escaping as compared with the men. The recognition of potential sex differences in the context of a theoretically driven treatment for substance users is discussed.
本研究比较了1189名男性和300名女性罪犯在理论上相关的认知行为治疗概念方面的性别差异，这些罪犯参与了一项基于监狱的药物滥用治疗项目。采用多变量方差分析来检验男性和女性在动机、自我效能感和应对方式等方面的差异。结果显示，与男性相比，女性报告称对存在药物使用问题有更高的认知，在高风险情境中保持戒断的自我效能感较低，并且更依赖寻求支持、承担责任和逃避等应对策略。本文还讨论了在针对药物使用者的理论驱动治疗背景下对潜在性别差异的认识。
