Abstract

|
The aim of the current study is to investigate which MMPI-2 subscales can distinguish psychological characteristics according to type of offences and length of imprisonment of male ex-offenders through discriminant analysis. The types of offences were divided into violent and other offences. The length of imprisonment was divided into less than two years and more than two years. This research was conducted on a sample of 91 male ex-offenders who were receiving accommodations and meals from the Korean Rehabilitation Agency. Criminal records and MMPI-2 test data were used for analysis. MMPI-2 responses were compared by both the type of offences and length of imprisonment. According to the results, other offenders scored lower on Fears(FRS) and Anger(ANG) subscales, and individuals imprisoned for 2 years or more scored higher on Negative Emotionality/Neuroticism(NEGE) and Low Self-Esteem(LSE) subscales. Finally, the implications and limitations of this research are discussed.
