Abstract

The aim of this research was to examine the effect of emotional stabilization training on improving psychological well-being in prisoners. This research uses an experimental method with Pre-test Post-test one group Design. The respondents in this research were inmates at the Class I A Semarang Correctional Institution and the Class II A Semarang Women^s Correctional Institution. The respondents used were prisoners who had psychological well-being scores below the average, as measured using the Psychological Well-being Scale. The data analysis technique uses a paired sample t test (psychological well-being before and after training) and an independent sample t test to determine whether there are differences in psychological well-being before and after training in male and female inmate subjects. Based on the results above, it is known that there are differences in psychological well-being scores for male prisoners so that Emotional Stabilization Training is more effectively applied to male prisoners.
