Abstract

The world of people imprisoned in penitentiary institutions may never be understood by those who enjoy their freedom. The present study investigated the narratives about close relations, produced by inmates, with the analyses focusing specifically on the motive of power and the motive of intimacy, as described by McAdams. It was hypothesized that, depending on the length of prison sentence, the inmates would differ significantly regarding these motives and secondly that the motive of intimacy and the subjects' age would be significant predictors for the duration of the prison sentence. The study involved 356 male inmates (M = 28.80; SD = 10.91) who were asked to write stories about close relations with their partners. The findings show that individuals with longer prison sentence present a higher level of the power motive focused on building a stronger self, compared to the inmates sentenced to prison for a shorter duration. A multivariate regression analysis showed that the duration of imprisonment is positively predicted by the subjects' age and negatively by the motive of intimacy.

监狱囚犯讲述亲密关系时的权力和亲密动机

享受自由的人可能永远无法理解监狱中被监禁者的世界。本研究调查了囚犯对亲密关系的叙述，分析的重点是麦克亚当斯所描述的权力动机和亲密动机。研究假设，根据服刑时间的长短，囚犯在这些动机方面会有显著差异；其次，亲密关系动机和受试者的年龄将成为服刑时间的重要预测因素。这项研究涉及 356 名男性囚犯（M = 28.80；SD = 10.91），要求他们撰写与伴侣亲密关系的故事。研究结果表明，与刑期较短的囚犯相比，刑期较长的囚犯表现出更高水平的权力动机，其重点是建立更强大的自我。多元回归分析表明，刑期长短与受试者的年龄呈正相关，与亲密关系动机呈负相关。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
