According to the Risk-Need-Responsivity (RNR) model, treatment effectiveness increases when treatment addresses all three associated core principles. While researchers have focused on the risk and need principles, responsivity remains under-investigated. The theoretical foundation of the RNR model and former research indicates low perceived self-efficacy and inadequate adult attachment styles as potential responsivity factors that can impede treatment of the underlying risk factors. This study assesses firstly whether these factors predict treatment attrition, and secondly changes in the assessed risk of sexual reoffending. Participants were N = 146 men sentenced for sexual offences in a German social-therapeutic correctional facility. Younger age, higher number of previous convictions, and higher scores on the interpersonal facet of the Psychopathy Checklist-Revised are associated with a higher risk of treatment attrition. Unemployment prior to incarceration was found to be an aggravating factor, whereas substance abuse emerged as a mitigating factor, according reducing the risk of reoffending. Neither pre-treatment self-efficacy nor attachment styles revealed as responsivity factors in this study. Future studies should examine if the consideration of these factors during treatment might impact treatment outcomes.

根据风险-需求-响应 (RNR) 模型，当治疗涉及所有三个相关的核心原则时，治疗效果会提高。虽然研究人员专注于风险和需求原则，但响应度仍未得到充分研究。RNR 模型的理论基础和以前的研究表明，低自我效能感和成人依恋风格不足是可能阻碍潜在风险因素治疗的潜在反应因素。本研究首先评估这些因素是否预测治疗损耗，其次评估性再犯罪风险的变化。参与者是N= 146 名男子在德国社会治疗惩教机构中因性犯罪被判刑。年龄越小、既往定罪次数越多以及心理变态检查表-修订版人际方面的得分越高，与治疗流失的风险越高有关。入狱前的失业被发现是一个加重因素，而药物滥用则是一个减轻因素，因为它降低了再犯罪的风险。在本研究中，治疗前的自我效能感和依恋风格均未显示为响应因素。未来的研究应该检查在治疗期间考虑这些因素是否会影响治疗结果。
