- Abstract:
- Purpose : The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of Mindfulness of Breathing Meditation Program (MBMP) as an adjunct treatment for inattention, impulsivity, and hyperactivity with juvenile sex offenders as measured by the Clinical Assessment of Attention Deficit-Child Version (CAT-C) (Bracken & Boatwright, 2005). Method : This study is experimental in nature and employed a randomized control group, pretest-posttest design. Participants were juvenile sex offenders in a residential treatment program in the Central Florida area. The experimental group participated in a six-week Mindfulness of Breathing Meditation Program as an adjunct to the standard treatment protocol and the control group participated in the standard treatment. A t-test was used to analyze the data. Findings : The results of the independent samples t tests indicated that participating in a Mindfulness of Breathing Meditation Program yielded a significant difference in test scores for student self-report of inattention, student self-report of hyperactivity, staff report of impulsivity, and staff report of hyperactivity when compared to a control group. None of the teacher reports of inattention, hyperactivity, or impulsivity were significantly different for the two groups.
