Physical activity in the process of social reintegration of a person deprived of liberty
Abstract
Cooperation and social coexistence constitutes a condition of life success and goals’ realization. That is why sport, physical education or kinesthetic recreation realized in groups of young people conceives a possibility of many positive characteristic personality features’ creation.
It was significant to capture relations between physical activity of persons under sentence and their progress in social reintegration. The research were conducted in two prisons in Podkarpackie Voivodeship amongst 100 men who agreed to take part in the research. There were created groups of workers and non-workers in prisons or outside as well as prisoners attending or not attending sport classes.
Aggression questionnaire (BPAQ) created by A. Buss and M. Perry (Aranowska, Rytel, Szymańska 2015) as well as authorial interview questionnaire (Zieliński 2013, pp205) were used to collect research material. Research results were verified with the use of V Cramer, Chi2, C Pearson and significance level for 12 degrees of freedom.
It turns out that involvement in physical activity may become one of the ways supporting process of prisoners’ recovering from maladjustment. What is curious, a type of the activity determines an intensity’s diversity of prisoner’s adversarial and destructive behaviours.
