Özet:
This doctoral study examined the perception of the value of yoga verses psychotherapy for inmates. Participants were randomly assigned to read a vignette about an inmate's experience practicing the principles of yoga, engaging in psychotherapy, or not participating in a treatment group. Perceptions of the effectiveness of these activities were examined using a survey based on Craig Haney's seven psychological adaptations to incarceration (2002). Haney described his seven adaptations to incarceration as normal responses to an abnormal situation while also indicating that the adaptations often interfere with inmate transitions back into the community (2002). Preliminary analysis of variance between the mean survey scores for each vignette group revealed no significant variance, yet the data was negatively skewed. The primary analysis was conducted using a Kruskal-Wallis Test to examine for significant statistical differences in mean rank scores between groups. There was a significant difference between groups thus the null hypothesis was rejected. Post-hoc analyses using Mann-Whitney U Tests revealed the surveyed population perceived yoga and no treatment similarly, but perceived psychotherapy as inferior in helping inmates to re-assimilate to the community. Further exploratory analysis revealed that race, annual gross income, and political orientation did not vary in the mean sum score significantly. Confounding variables including stigma about mental health, the popularity of yoga, and the portrayal of inept and unethical prison psychologists in television and movies are discussed.
