Area of Science:

  • Forensic Psychology
  • Correctional Psychology
  • Mobile Computing

Background:

  • Psychological assessment for justice-involved individuals traditionally uses paper-and-pencil methods.
  • The application of mobile computing technology in correctional psychological assessment remains under-explored.
  • Empirical examination of tablet-based assessments in forensic and correctional settings is needed.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To empirically examine the use of tablet computers for psychological assessments in a correctional population.
  • To compare tablet-based administration with traditional paper-and-pencil methods for key psychological measures.
  • To assess participant usability, completion rates, and preferences for digital assessment tools.

Main Methods:

  • A randomized controlled experiment was conducted with 212 justice-involved individuals in custodial correctional supervision.
  • Participants completed questionnaires on risk-needs, treatment readiness, and technology opinions via tablet or paper-and-pencil.
  • Data were analyzed to compare completion time, item omission, usability ratings, and preferences.

Main Results:

  • Paper-and-pencil administration was faster but had higher item omission rates.
  • Older participants and those with lower education levels took longer on tablet measures.
  • Tablet format was rated as more usable, with most participants preferring digital testing.

Conclusions:

  • Tablet-based psychological assessments are a viable and preferred method in correctional settings.
  • Digital assessments offer significant time savings and practical advantages for researchers and practitioners.
  • The findings support the integration of mobile computing into correctional psychological assessment and administration.
