DESCRIPTION (provided by investigator): This study is designed to evaluate the impact of moral emotions (i.e., feelings of shame, guilt and empathy) on criminal recidivism, and to assess whether existing services and interventions are effective in modifying the moral affective capacity of offenders, thereby reducing rates of re-offense. To what degree do feelings of shame, guilt and empathy foster reparative behavior and reform? Are there hidden psychological costs to some moral emotions as opposed to others? How can prison programs foster the development of adaptive moral emotions? And what kinds of inmates are especially likely to benefit from such programs? To address these questions, 900 recently incarcerated offenders will be interviewed in depth regarding (a) the instant offense, with a special focus on experiences of moral emotions during and just after the offense, and (b) the offender's experiences in the criminal justice system, from arrest through incarceration. Inmates will also complete baseline measures of moral emotional style (proneness to shame, guilt, and empathy), moral reasoning, and psychopathy. Throughout the period of incarceration, inmate use of offender services will be tracked, and an experimental component will be introduced to rigorously evaluate the efficacy of two intervention programs, currently in place, which draw on a restorative justice model. In exit interviews just prior to release, inmates again will be interviewed regarding (a) the instant offense, focusing on feelings of shame, guilt and empathy, if any, (b) the offender's experiences and reactions to incarceration, again with a focus on moral emotions, and (c) the offender's plans upon release. Inmates will also complete for a second time measures of shame-proneness, guilt-proneness, empathy, and moral reasoning. Outcome measures will include behavioral adjustment during incarceration, changes in moral emotional factors from initial assessment to exit interview, changes in inmates' emotional adjustment, and subsequent indices of recidivism/rehabilitation at 1 and 3 years post-release. Together, results should help clarify how best to enhance offenders' emotional, social, and behavioral adjustment --- both during incarceration and post-release --- thereby reducing the rate of aggressive and antisocial behavior in our community.

描述(由调查员提供)：这项研究旨在评估 道德情绪(即羞耻感、负罪感和同理心)对 刑事累犯，并评估现有的服务和干预措施 能有效地改变罪犯的道德情感能力，从而 降低再犯罪率。羞耻感、负罪感和 移情培养修复性行为和改革？有没有隐藏的心理 与其他道德情感相比，一些道德情感的代价是什么？监狱项目如何 培养适应性道德情绪的发展？以及什么样的囚犯 特别有可能从这类计划中受益？要解决这些问题 问题，900名最近入狱的罪犯将接受深入采访 关于(A)即时犯罪，特别注重道德体验 犯罪期间和之后的情绪，以及(B)犯罪者的经历 在刑事司法系统中，从逮捕到监禁。囚犯们会 也完成了道德情感风格的基线测量(倾向于羞耻， 负罪感和同理心)、道德推理和心理变态。在整个时期内 监禁、囚犯使用罪犯服务的情况将被跟踪，并 将引入实验组件，严格评估疗效 目前正在实施的两个干预计划中，利用了恢复性 正义典范。在释放前的退出面谈中，囚犯们将再次 关于(A)即时冒犯的采访，重点是羞耻感， 负罪感和同理心，如果有的话，(B)犯罪者的经历和对 监禁，同样以道德情感为重点，以及(C)犯罪者的 释放后的计划。囚犯们还将第二次完成 羞耻倾向、内疚倾向、同理心和道德推理。结果 措施将包括监禁期间的行为调整，改变 道德情感因素从最初的评估到离职面试，变化 服刑人员情绪调适情况及后续指标 释放后1年和3年的累犯/改过自新。团结在一起，结果 应该有助于阐明如何最好地提高罪犯的情感、社交和 行为调整-在监禁期间和释放后 从而降低我们的攻击性和反社会行为的比率 社区。
