Evaluacija testa stresa životnog stila u penalnom sustavu

The aim of this paper is to analyse metric characteristics and factor structure of Lifestyle Stress Test (LST). Also, the correlation between LST and Level of Service Inventory- Revised (LSI-R) will be examined. The research has been conducted on a sample of 399 male adult convicts aged 19 to 60 years (M= 31, 8, SD= 8, 22) who have passed through the Department of Diagnostics and Treatment Programming in Zagreb Prison in the period from March 2004 to June 2005. Most of the respondents (28%) were convicted for the criminal offence related to drug abuse, for aggravated robbery (19%), for robbery (11%), fraud (8%) and for murder (7%). All other criminal offences were represented in significantly smaller percentages. The data were processed by the program rtt7 for computing of the metric characteristics of the instruments, by the factorial analysis (principal components) and by the regression analysis. Results show that LST has good metric characteristics. Measures of the reliability of the first principal components, as well as the standard reliability measure are very high (above .80). The representativity and homogenity are also high. Regression analysis showed that LST has average, statisticaly significant multiple correlation with the questionnaire LSI-R. That means that higher risk/need level implies higher level of stress wich confirmes Lifestyle Theory hypothesis on relationship between stress and criminal lifestyle.
