Abstract
The demographic, psychiatric/criminal background, and personality correlates of institutional (prison) adjustment were derived in a sample of 51 emotionally disturbed military offenders and cross-validated in a sample of 52 emotionally disturbed federal inmates. Results indicated that only two correlates or predictors of institutional adjustment were successfully crossvalidated across samples: the MMPI F scale and a behavioral rating of conceptual disorganization both predicted poor emotional adjustment. The implications of thesefindings in light of past research results are discussed.
