Description
Summary:Plain Language Summary TitleThe Effect of Psychoeducation on Anger Control and Cognitive Flexibility in Individuals Convicted of HomicideThis study aimed to determine the effect of psychoeducation on anger control and cognitive flexibility in individuals convicted of homicide. The study was completed with 47 individuals convicted of murder (23 control, 24 experimental). The experimental group received eight sessions of psychoeducation, while the control group did not receive any intervention. Data were collected using a personal information form, controlled anger scale (CRS) and cognitive flexibility inventory (CFI). After CBT-based psychoeducation, anger control levels and cognitive flexibility levels of the individuals in the experimental group increased significantly compared to the individuals in the control group. Accordingly, psychoeducation can increase anger control and cognitive flexibility levels in prisoners.
