This study examines a residential treatment center for emotionally disturbed female adolescents by comparing changes in personality as measured by objective tests given while in residence and by a questionnaire sent to former residents at least six months after release. Two hypotheses were tested. The first was that the girls would be successful when they returned to their communities. "Success" was defined by a number of variables on a questionnaire. Responses to the questions indicate that the girls are doing well. The second hypothesis was that the girls would show significant improvement in their scores on two personality tests taken at the time they were admitted and at the time of their release. A comparison of the mean scores of the various factors on each test showed significant improvement.
本研究通过比较入住期间进行的客观测试所衡量的人格变化，以及向释放后至少六个月的前居民发送的问卷，对一家针对情绪困扰的女性青少年的寄宿治疗中心进行了考察。测试了两个假设。第一个假设是女孩们回到社区后会取得成功。“成功”由问卷上的多个变量定义。对问题的回答表明女孩们表现良好。第二个假设是女孩们在入院时和出院时进行的两项人格测试中的得分会有显著提高。对每项测试中各种因素的平均得分进行比较显示有显著改善。
