Identifier	Thesis 1761
Author	Jankowski, Beth A.
Title	Trait Anger and the Prediction of Non-Compliant Behavior in Prison
Publisher	Central Connecticut State University
Date	2004
Resource Type	Master's Thesis
Notes	The present study investigates the link between trait anger and non-compliant behavior in prison. A sample of inmates from three prisons in the Connecticut Department of Correction were studied to determine if the level of their trait anger would predict the amount of Disciplinary Reports (DRs) that were given to them. The sample was comprised of both men and women, with an age range of 19 to 53, with the average age being 33 years old. The subjects represented several racial groups (white, black, and hispanic) and were serving prison sentences ranging from 9 months to life in prison. The average prison sentence among participants was 5.83 years. All of the participants were involved in a substance abuse treatment group. The trait anger score was determined by the administration of the Trait Anger Scale as the inmates were beginning the treatment program. Disciplinary scores (based on the number of DRs received) were then correlated with the anger scores to see if a link exists. Also, the subjects were divided, based on their anger score, into High and Low Anger groups. Independent Samples t-tests were done to determine if High Anger individuals differ from Low Anger individuals based on their anger score. This study did not find a link to relate anger to non-compliant behavior. More work, including increased sample size and limiting the time frame of DR analysis, needs to be completed to gain a more comprehensive look at this picture.
