Area of Science:

Psychology
Criminology
Sociology

Background:

Life events and environmental changes can influence behavior.
Understanding the factors leading to incarceration is crucial for rehabilitation and prevention.

Purpose of the Study:

To retrospectively examine the correlation between the accumulation of life events and prison incarceration.
To explore the predictive value of the Schedule of Recent Experience (SRE) for socially deviant behavior.

Main Methods:

Retrospective analysis of 176 male inmates from federal and state prisons.
Utilized the Schedule of Recent Experience (SRE) to derive life change scores.
Compared life event frequencies of inmates to a normative group.

Main Results:

Related Experiment Videos

Inmates exhibited escalating annual life change scores prior to incarceration.
Race, age, and education were identified as variables influencing life change scores.
Prisoners' coping lifestyles were found to reflect antisocial and criminal behavior.

Conclusions:

A higher frequency of life events is associated with prison incarceration.
The SRE shows potential for predicting socially deviant and criminal behavior.
Incarcerated individuals develop coping mechanisms that manifest as antisocial tendencies.
