| Summary: | ObjectiveTo understand the characteristics of high-risk inmates’ impulsivity and to explore the influencing factors of impulsivity， so as to provide a theoretical basis for identifying the high-risk factors and making effective intervention.MethodsA total of 588 male inmates in Nanjing were selected as the research subjects. They were divided into four groups according to their violent crime reasons， high impulsiveness， borderline personality and antisocial personality. The detailed criminal records of inmates， general demographic data questionnaire， self-made substance use questionnaire， Barratt Impulsiveness Scale （BIS-11） and Childhood Trauma Questionaire-Short Form （CTQ-SF） were used to investigate， and multiple stepwise regression analysis was conducted to analysis the influencing factors of impulsivity of high-risk inmates.Results① There were statistically significant differences in age， marital status and drug use history among the four groups （F=4.890、13.945、26.137， P<0.01）. ② There were statistically significant differences in BIS-11 and CTQ-SF scores among the four groups （F=81.196， 16.208， P<0.01）. ③ Drug use history （β=1.832， P<0.05）， affective neglect （β=0.278， P<0.01） and affective abuse （β=0.307， P<0.01） had positive predictive effects on impulsivity of all high-risk inmates. Affective neglect （β=0.482， P<0.01） had a positive predictive effect on impulsivity of violent criminals.ConclusionDrug use history， affective neglect and emotional abuse were the risk factors for high impulsivity in male high-risk inmates. |
