Description
Adam Meddeb and eight colleagues tested whether a standard questionnaire on handling emotions works well in forensic settings. Their study appeared in 2026. The scale is used widely in clinics. Yet its behaviour among forensic patients and prisoners was unproven. The team checked the full 36-item version and two short forms. Samples came from two lands.
The first six-part structure fitted the forensic data poorly. The 16-item and 8-item short forms fitted better. Scores linked sensibly to aggression, impulsivity, and mindfulness. They did not link to habitual strategy use. The authors recommend the short forms for forensic practice. They promise sound measurement with far less burden on patients.
