Abstract(s)
O descomprometimento moral consiste num processo cognitivo que permite aos
indivíduos justificarem ações contrárias aos seus valores morais, o que por sua vez pode facilitar
o comportamento desviante. O presente estudo tem como objetivo investigar se existem
diferenças entre os níveis de descomprometimento moral dos reclusos consoante o número de
amigos que estiveram em situação de reclusão. A amostra deste estudo é caracterizada por 411
reclusos do sexo masculino, com idades compreendidas entre os 19 e 83 anos (M = 38.33, DP
= 10.95). Além da avaliação sobre o número de amigos em conflito com a lei, administrou-se a
Escala Civic Moral Disengagement (CMD), de forma a avaliar o descomprometimento moral
(Caprara et al., 2009; Almeida & Basto-Pereira, 2019). Os resultados indicam que os reclusos
que têm mais amigos que estiveram ou estão presos revelam níveis de descomprometimento
moral mais elevados comparativamente aos reclusos que possuem menos ou nenhum amigo
preso. Os resultados destacam a relevância da afiliação a pares com comportamentos desviantes
nos processos de descomprometimento moral na população forense, com implicações críticas
para a prevenção do crime e a redução da reincidência. Avaliações que considerem redes sociais
e intervenções precoces para jovens em risco aparentam ser essenciais para reduzir a
reincidência e promover uma reintegração social eficaz.
ABSTRACT: Moral disengagement is a cognitive process that allows individuals to justify actions that go against their moral values, which in turn can facilitate deviant behaviour. The present study aims to investigate whether there are differences between the levels of moral disengagement of inmates according to the number of friends who have been in prison. The sample of this study consists of 411 male inmates, aged between 19 and 83 years (M = 38.33, SD = 10.95). In addition to assessing the number of friends involved with the justice system, the Civic Moral Disengagement (CMD) Scale was administered to evaluate moral disengagement (Caprara et al., 2009; Almeida & Basto-Pereira, 2019). The results indicate that inmates who have more friends who have been or are in prison show higher levels of moral disengagement compared to inmates who have fewer or no friends in prison. The results highlight the relevance of affiliation with deviant peers on levels of moral disengagement of inmates, with critical implications for crime prevention and reducing recidivism. Evaluations that consider social networks interventions for at-risk youth appear to be essential for reducing recidivism and promoting effective social reintegration.
