Approach To The Emotional Situation Of The Inmates Of A Penitentiary Center

Abstract

[eng] The main objective of this study is to see to what extent the development of so-cio-emotional competencies favor socio-labour insertion in prisoners. The meth-odology used consisted of using an experimental design in which the sample was made up of 48 participants from the Andorran prison. The instruments used were Goldstein's Test A and the Trait Meta-Mood Scale (TMMS-24). The results showed that the inmate population analyzed in the study had few emotional skills in gen-eral. The conclusions were that a psychopedagogical intervention was necessary.
