The effectiveness of a 10-session social problem-solving training (SPST) was evaluated in two independent studies in a juvenile justice (JJ) setting. In both studies, we aimed to examine main intervention effects on social problem-solving skills and recidivism, as well as differential effects as modulated by anger, anger regulation, and single nucleotide polymorphisms in the COMT gene. In Study 1, a randomized controlled trial (RCT), 289 male detainees (Mage= 14.95 years) were randomly assigned to SPST or treatment-as-usual (TAU). In Study 2, a pre-post community implementation, 187 youth (Mage = 16.03 years) on probation were assessed before and after SPST. No significant main effects of SPST on social problem solving or recidivism were shown in either study. With regard to differential effects, among youth in detention,COMT haplotypes predicted intervention effects on state anger. Moreover, independent of SPST, inward anger expression was associated with an increase in state anger from pre- to post and an increase in state anger with a decrease in social problem solving. Among youth on probation, COMT haplotypes predicted social problem-solving skills, and, in turn, an increase in social problem-solving skills decreased the odds of recidivism after SPST. The lack of main effects of SPST may be due to low program integrity in JJ settings. Juveniles' emotional and genetic characteristics might modulate the effectiveness of interventions in JJ settings. We recommend studying large samples to substantiate this observation.

解决青少年在拘留或缓刑中解决社会问题的培训的有效性:RCT和岗前社区实施。

在两项针对青少年司法(JJ)的独立研究中,评估了一次10堂社会问题解决培训(SPST)的有效性。在这两项研究中,我们旨在研究对解决社会问题技巧和累犯的主要干预作用,以及由愤怒,愤怒调节和COMT基因中的单核苷酸多态性所调节的不同作用。在研究1中,随机对照试验(RCT)将289名男性被拘留者(M年龄= 14.95岁)随机分配到SPST或常规治疗(TAU)。在研究2中,在社区实施之前的实施中,有187名青年(M岁) = 16.03岁)在SPST之前和之后评估了试用期。两项研究均未显示SPST对解决社会问题或累犯有重大的主要影响。关于差别影响,在被拘留的年轻人中,COMT单倍型预测了干预对国家愤怒的影响。此外,独立于SPST,向内表达愤怒与从前到岗位的国家愤怒增加和与社会问题解决能力降低的国家愤怒增加有关。在试用期的青年中,COMT单倍型预测了解决社会问题的能力,而反社会问题解决能力的提高又降低了SPST后再犯的几率。缺少SPST的主要影响可能是由于JJ设置中的程序完整性较低。青少年的情绪和遗传特征可能会调节JJ情境中干预措施的有效性。我们建议研究大量样本以证实这一发现。
