Institutional Environment
- Dimensions of Organizational Functioning: (subject-release)
Eight dimensions derived from items throughout the release interview
to reflect general attributes of the setting that are likely to
affect later adjustment of adolescents who spent time in an
institution: safety, institutional order, harshness, caring adults,
fairness, antisocial peers, services, and reentry planning.
- Sanctioning Practices and Institutional Climate: (subject-release)
Questions assessing the perceived organization and fairness of the
rules of the facility, the staff's interactions with the
adolescents, how safe the adolescent feels in the program/facility,
and the consequences for negative behavior in the institution.
