A new multiple indicator method of assessing bullying behaviour is employed (Direct and Indirect Prisoner behaviour Checklist - Scaled version [DIPC-SCALED]) with 605 adult prisoners (487 men and 118 women). The study explores if the DIPC-SCALED is a reliable method comprising of identifiable aggression factors; if prisoners can be classified into groups based on behavioural frequency; and if there is evidence for mutual victim/perpetrator groups. The DIPC-SCALED proved reliable, comprising of a number of aggression factors. Prisoners could be classified into groups based on behavioural frequency with one-fifth classified into an "intense" perpetrator and/or victim group. Evidence for mutual perpetrator/victims was found. Results are discussed with regards to the method used and the value in accounting for behavioural frequency in group classification.
采用了一种新的评估欺凌行为的多指标方法(直接和间接囚犯行为清单 - 量表版 [DIPC-SCALED]),对605名成年囚犯(487名男性和118名女性)进行了研究。该研究探讨了DIPC-SCALED是否是一种可靠的方法,是否包含可识别的攻击因素;囚犯是否可以根据行为频率分为不同的组;以及是否有证据表明存在相互的受害者/施害者群体。结果表明,DIPC-SCALED是可靠的,包含多个攻击因素。囚犯可以根据行为频率分为不同的组,其中五分之一被归类为“强烈”的施害者和/或受害者群体。研究发现了相互的施害者/受害者的证据。文中讨论了所使用的方法以及在群体分类中考虑行为频率的价值。
