This study tested the hypotheses that performance deficits in\r\nexecutive cognitive function (ECF) tasks and emotional responses will\r\ncharacterize aggressive and disruptive inmates and predict treatment\r\nresponse. All subjects were examined using noninvasive behavioral,\r\npsychological, ECF, and hormone tests. The data contain a total of 232\r\ncases. Inmates volunteering to participate in the cognitive-behavioral\r\ntherapy (CBT) program offered by the Maryland correctional system were\r\nrecruited from three facilities using a pseudo-random selection\r\nprocedure during intake into the program. Consenting inmates received\r\nan extensive baseline testing battery of several complementary\r\ndimensions of higher order neuropsychological functions as well as\r\nconditions that influence them: (1) three ECF tasks and one emotional\r\nperception task, (2) collection of salivary cortisol during an acute\r\nstress task and the Symptom Checklist 90 (SCL-90) taken beforehand,\r\n(3) a short general neuropsychological test, (4) three psychological\r\nquestionnaires, (5) an historical inventory to assess prior drug use\r\nand child and family background, and (6) a treatment readiness,\r\nresponsivity, and gain scale. An events inventory and a success\r\ninventory were also administered. Several additional tests were\r\nadministered repeatedly throughout treatment. A record review was\r\nconducted after program completion to ascertain incidents of\r\ninstitutional misconduct as well as treatment performance outcomes.\r\nVariables include IQ, demographics, background information, prior drug\r\nuse, early trauma, psychopathy, aggression, stressful events, success,\r\nreactions to provocation, treatment readiness, emotional\r\nperception/regulation, executive cognitive performance, cortisol\r\nmeasures, treatment gain, treatment responsivity, treatment\r\ncompletion, Maryland Offender Based State Correctional Information\r\nSystem (OBSCIS) data, institutional infractions, segregations, and\r\nseveral other computed variables.", "distribution": [{"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "accessURL": "https://doi.org/10.3886/ICPSR20349.v1", "title": "Neuropsychological and Emotional Deficits as Predictors of Correctional Treatment Response in Maryland, 2003-2005"}], "identifier": "3782", "issued": "2008-03-31T15:55:50", "keyword": ["addiction", "aggression", "behavior modification", "behavior problems", "cognitive processes", "correctional facilities", "decision making", "emotional states", "evaluation", "human behavior", "inmates", "intervention strategies", "personality assessment", "program evaluation", "res"], "language": ["eng"], "license": "http://www.usa.gov/publicdomain/label/1.0/", "modified": "2008-03-31T15:59:20", "programCode": ["011:060"], "publisher": {"@type": "org:Organization", "name": "National Institute of Justice", "subOrganizationOf": {"acronym": "OJP", "id": 22, "name": "Office of Justice Programs", "parentOrganization": {"acronym": "DOJ", "id": 10, "name": "Department of Justice"}, "parentOrganizationID": 10}}, "rights": "These data are restricted due to the increased risk of violation of confidentiality of respondent and subject data.", "title": "Neuropsychological and Emotional Deficits as Predictors of Correctional Treatment Response in Maryland, 2003-2005"}
