Abstract

Distorted thinking has been linked to individuals that exhibit criminogenic behavior. In our research, the participants were felons (M age = 30). Each of the participants enrolled in a treatment program at NEOCAP (Northeast Ohio Community Alternative Program). We measured the change in criminogenic thinking of 1,204 participants after completing the correctional facility's CBT program by administering the How I Think Questionnaire (HIT) (Barriga & Gibbs, 1996). Each resident completed the questionnaire at the beginning of their treatment and those that completed the treatment program completed a second HIT assessment post treatment. We predict that residents completing the treatment will exhibit less cognitive distortion and more positive thinking.

We predict that residents completing the treatment will exhibit less cognitive distortion and more positive thinking.
