- Abstract:
- Purpose: The purpose of the study was to identify how incarcerated, juvenile delinquents viewed their needs in reference toward others, and whether a change occurred when subjected to music. The reason for measuring this particular group was due to the high level of discord that follows delinquency, thereby providing a vehicle to observe change in overall behavior. Method: The quasi-experimental, nonrandomized control group pretest-posttest design was selected because the groups were already intact. The Fundamental Interpersonal Relations Orientation –Behavior (FIRO-B) scale was the instrument used to measure needs. The Mann-Whitney U Test computed the baseline, then identified the relationship for pretest and posttest differences. Major Findings: There were a large number of juveniles who dropped out of the study for various reasons. As a result, the t-test computation data did not yield a significance that could not reject the null hypothesis. However, there was anecdotal evidence provided from youth surveys and staff self-report surveys after 2 weeks and 4 weeks that reported improved moods. In addition, a review of the facility behavior write-ups for the month revealed improved behavior for most of the participants in the treatment group.
