The study focuses on the challenges of re-educating and reintegrating inmates into society, emphasizing the need for increased self-control and reduction of impulsive behaviors.
It involved 134 male inmates from the Penitentiary Center of Granada, split into adherent and non-adherent treatment groups, and assessed them using various psychological scales.
Results showed that non-adherent inmates displayed significantly higher levels of impulsivity and compulsivity, indicating that better treatment adherence is linked to lower impulsive and compulsive behaviors.
