OBJECTIVE Specific responsivity features are not directly targeted in offender rehabilitation programs but may impact a client's receptivity. We investigated if two features may explain why high-quality correctional programs do not uniformly impact all high-risk, high-needs clients. HYPOTHESES The current study was exploratory. We hypothesized a relationship between higher static risk and poorer program outcomes and then explored if this relationship was attenuated by age and motivation. METHOD Program providers rated the performance of incarcerated males (n = 2,417, Mean age = 33.6, SD = 9.9, Range = 18-81) who attended one of six types of programs during incarceration (for general, violent, and sexual offenders). Using risk scores calculated at prison entry, we predicted performance and official record recidivism. Preprogram motivation and age were moderators. RESULTS Five of 24 exploratory multilevel models revealed an attenuated relationship between risk and program outcome among older offenders (percent variance explained = 17.9% within violence groups; 11.5% within living skills groups; and a 9% difference in predicted recidivism rates among high-risk attendees of family violence groups) and offenders with higher preprogram motivation (percent variance explained = 43.6% within violence groups, and a 7% difference in predicted recidivism rates among high risk attendees in living skills groups). CONCLUSIONS Age and motivation can be specific responsivity features that may deserve attention in rehabilitation practice. However, observed effects may have been weakened by underdeveloped, single-indicator measurement strategies. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2019 APA, all rights reserved).

年龄和动机可以是特定的反应性特征，可以缓解风险和康复结果之间的关系。

目的特定的响应功能不是在罪犯康复计划中直接针对的，但可能会影响客户的接受能力。我们调查了两个特征是否可以解释为什么高质量的教养计划不能统一地影响所有高风险，高需求的客户。假设目前的研究是探索性的。我们假设较高的静态风险与较差的计划结果之间存在一种关系，然后研究这种关系是否会因年龄和动机而减弱。方法程序提供者对被监禁的男性（n = 2,417，平均年龄= 33.6，SD = 9.9，范围= 18-81）的表现进行了评估，这些男性在监禁期间参加了六种类型的程序之一（针对一般，暴力和性犯罪者）。使用入狱时计算出的风险评分，我们可以预测表现和官方再犯。程序前动机和年龄是主持人。结果24个探索性多层次模型中的五个模型揭示了较年长的罪犯的风险与项目结果之间的关系有所减弱（暴力组中的变异百分比解释为17.9％；生活技能组中的变异百分比为11.5％；高危人群中预测的累犯率差异为9％）家庭暴力团体的参加者）和具有较高预编程动机的罪犯（暴力团体中的变异百分比说明为43.6％，生活技能组的高风险参加者的预测累犯率相差7％）。结论年龄和动机可能是特定的反应性特征，在康复实践中可能值得关注。但是，未开发的单指标测量策略可能会削弱观察到的效果。
