Research has rarely considered criminal offenders' psychological responses to stigma, but these responses may significantly influence behavior after release from jail/prison. Jail inmates' perceived and anticipated stigma was assessed prior to release from jail/prison ( = 163), and outcomes were assessed one year post-release ( = 371). We hypothesized that perceived stigma would predict poor adjustment in several domains (i.e. recidivism, substance dependence, mental health symptoms, community adjustment) anticipated stigma. Results showed that perceived stigma predicted worse community adjustment through anticipated stigma, and this varied by race. Results are explored from an interdisciplinary perspective.
研究很少考虑刑事罪犯对污名的心理反应,但这些反应可能会对出狱/刑满释放后的行为产生重大影响。在出狱/刑满释放前(n = 163)评估了监狱囚犯感知到的和预期的污名,并在释放后一年(n = 371)评估了结果。我们假设,感知到的污名将预示在几个领域(即累犯、药物依赖、心理健康症状、社区适应)的适应不良 预期污名。结果表明,感知到的污名通过预期污名预示着更差的社区适应,并且这种情况因种族而异。从跨学科的角度探讨了结果。
