We examined the experiences of incarcerated adolescent males (N = 29) who participated in a one-day meditation retreat and 10-week meditation programme.
Self-report surveys assessing mindfulness, self-regulation, impulsivity and stress; behavioural assessments; and focus group data were examined.
We observed significantly higher scores in self-regulation (p = .012) and psychometric markers demonstrated psychological enhancement. No behavioural change was observed. Six themes emerged: enhanced well-being, increased self-discipline, increased social cohesiveness, expanded self-awareness, resistance to meditation and future meditation practice.
Early evidence suggests that meditation training for incarcerated youth is a feasible and promising intervention.
我们调查了参与为期一天的冥想静修和为期10周的冥想课程的被监禁青少年男性（N = 29）的经历。
对评估正念、自我调节、冲动性和压力的自我报告调查、行为评估以及焦点小组数据进行了研究。
我们观察到自我调节方面的得分显著更高（p = .012），心理测量指标显示心理状况得到改善。未观察到行为变化。出现了六个主题：幸福感增强、自律性提高、社会凝聚力增强、自我意识扩展、对冥想的抵触以及未来的冥想练习。
早期证据表明，为被监禁青少年提供冥想训练是一种可行且有前景的干预措施。
