The Stanford Prison Experiment03:20

The Stanford Prison Experiment

The famous and controversial Stanford Prison Experiment, conducted by social psychologist Philip Zimbardo and his colleagues at Stanford University, demonstrated the power of social roles, social norms, and scripts.
Surveys02:16

Surveys

Often, psychologists develop surveys as a means of gathering data. Surveys are lists of questions to be answered by research participants, and can be delivered as paper-and-pencil questionnaires, administered electronically, or conducted verbally. Generally, the survey itself can be completed in a short time, and the ease of administering a survey makes it easy to collect data from a large number of people.
Actuarial Approach01:20

Actuarial Approach

The actuarial approach, a statistical method originally developed for life insurance risk assessment, is widely used to calculate survival rates in clinical and population studies. This method accounts for participants lost to follow-up or those who die from causes unrelated to the study, ensuring a more accurate representation of survival probabilities.
Consider the example of a high-risk surgical procedure with significant early-stage mortality. A two-year clinical study is conducted,...
Comparing the Survival Analysis of Two or More Groups01:20

Comparing the Survival Analysis of Two or More Groups

Survival analysis is a cornerstone of medical research, used to evaluate the time until an event of interest occurs, such as death, disease recurrence, or recovery. Unlike standard statistical methods, survival analysis is particularly adept at handling censored data—instances where the event has not occurred for some participants by the end of the study or remains unobserved. To address these unique challenges, specialized techniques like the Kaplan-Meier estimator, log-rank test, and Cox...
Case Studies01:22

Case Studies

There are many research methods available to psychologists in their efforts to understand, describe, and explain behavior and the cognitive and biological processes that underlie it.
Psychosurgery01:30

Psychosurgery

Psychosurgery, the surgical alteration or permanent removal of brain tissue to alleviate severe psychological conditions, stands as one of the most radical and controversial treatments in the history of mental health care. Its development and application have evolved significantly, marked by dramatic shifts in scientific understanding and ethical perspectives.
Historical Development of Psychosurgery
In the 1930s, Portuguese neurologist Antonio Egas Moniz introduced a surgical procedure designed...

Area of Science:

  • Criminology
  • Public Health
  • Psychiatry

Background:

  • Individuals recently released from prison exhibit a significantly elevated suicide risk compared to the general population.
  • Understanding the specific risk factors for suicide among this demographic is crucial for developing targeted interventions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To identify key risk factors associated with suicide in offenders released from prisons in England and Wales.
  • To inform strategies aimed at reducing post-release suicide rates.

Main Methods:

  • A case-control study design was employed, identifying all suicides within 12 months of release between 2000-2002.
  • Each suicide case was matched with a control based on gender and release date.
  • Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were used to determine independent risk factors.

Main Results:

  • Out of 256,920 released prisoners, 384 died by suicide within one year.
  • Significant risk factors included: age over 25, release from local prisons, history of alcohol misuse or self-harm, psychiatric diagnosis, and requiring Community Mental Health Services (CMHS) follow-up.
  • Non-white ethnicity and prior imprisonment history were found to be protective factors.

Conclusions:

  • There is an urgent need to enhance the continuity of care for individuals transitioning from prison back into the community.
  • Improved coordination between community health, offender management, and social care agencies is essential for supporting vulnerable ex-offenders.
