- Abstract
In this article we will discuss the importance of personality research in the penal system and in particular about studies conducted among inmates of juvenile detention centers. Personality research in juvenile detentions is still an important issue, which will allow a better understanding of their psychological problems and implementation of prisoners’ care program, with the purpose of reintegration and rehabilitation. The right to education is the primary principal of the adolescent law, which had an understanding of their psychological peculiarities. Many sources point to the fact that the majority of incarcerated delinquents had a traumatic experience. For the reasons mentioned above, the necessity for research on motivational and attitudinal characteristics of the delinquents is clear. In spite of the fact that a school in penal system is very similar to the ordinary schools and the study process is conducted by the same standards, it still remains within the borders of the penal system. Although the influence of the penal system can be of consequence a school is still the most age relevant in the system and it gives the evaluation of the entire ecosystem of the adolescent’s problems and achievements. SAT is a research method, which studies the adolescents ‘emotional and motivational attitudes towards school. When we choose the research method, we took into consideration that school in the penitentiary system is the most vital resource for development, and it is the school that connects the delinquents with the external world. This method studies two aspects of fear: 1. Fear/anxiety as an activated emotional state with psycho-somatic manifestations; 2. Fear/anxiety direction, the reasons and/or purposes to which the activated emotional state is directed. In the penal system the accurate evaluation of inmates’ personality traits is significant, since the studies should help outline more effective interventions. Objectives: The description of the basic internal characteristics of the delinquents’ mental health, with attention to the age-relevant environment - school. The study of fear manifestation by the projective method, free from the psychological defense, which are not demonstrated by the self-report studies. Method:We’ll use school dreads and anxieties projection methodology to study the above considered issues. This method was developed by German researcher Eric Husslein, and it consisted of 11 cards. The method divides the learning induced emotional state of fear into five constructs: EB - phenomenological aspect of fear, KZ - somatic aspects of fear, IA - Self-devaluation aspect, SA - aspect of social fear, ZB - the aspect of future threats. In SAT these reasons are put into four categories of stressors, with a teacher, lesson, study group, family. Conclusions: Study conducted in juvenile establishment using a conscious protective free method, revealed internalized challenges which is reflected in self-report survey incomplete, and which permits us to declare that while surveying a person in penitential establishments, it is important to use conscious protective free methods along with self-report questionnaires to develop adequate and real needs’ oriented interventions.
