Reflections on inconsistencies within the data Sample Clauses

Reflections on inconsistencies within the data. ­‐ The possible impact of social desirability A key question raised by the current results, is whether it could be socially undesirable to admit to attachment anxiety and distress within a prison setting. Self-report measures are understood to be influenced by social desirability concerns (Xxxxx & Xxxxx, 2003; Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxx & Xxxxxxx, 2005), which may have impacted the responses given on both the XXX anxiety dimension (Xxxxx et al., 2006) and on post-scenario distress ratings of individuals who presented with a more anxious attachment style. That is, prisons have been described as hostile and aggressive environments where importance is placed on the ability to use violence as a means to protect oneself (Xxxx, 1981; Ireland & Ireland, 2003). Furthermore, although not systematically researched (Xxxxxxx, 1987; Xxxxx et al., 2007), violence, as a consequence of housing those with antisocial tendencies, has been noted as a pervasive feature within prisons (Xxxxx et al., 2007). Bullying, which is a subtype of violence (Xxxxx, Xxxxx, Olafsoon & Xxxxxxxxx, 2002) and can be defined to include verbal, physical or sexual abuse as well as indirect forms of bullying such as gossiping, ostracizing and rumour spreading (Ireland & Xxxxxx, 1996) has been noted as prevalent within young offenders institutes (Ireland, 2002,2005). With this in mind, Xxxxx and Wood (2006) studied the relationship between perceived social status and direct forms of bullying behaviour, namely verbal/psychological, physical, theft-related and sexual, within a male prison population (n=132). They found a positive relationship between the perceived importance of social status and bullying. They suggested that within the prison culture, where dominance over others has been shown to lead to acceptance and status (Ireland & Ireland, 2003), bullying may therefore be used as a means to gain status. Furthermore, XxXxxxxx (1992) has suggested that the use of an offender subculture, that includes bullying and aggression, is of particular importance to young offenders. With the literature on bullying (Ireland & Xxxxxx, 1996; Ireland, 2002/2005) and perceived social status within prisons (South & Wood, 2006) in mind it could therefore be suggested that within the current study it may have been socially undesirable for young offenders to respond to questions which may suggest they are lacking in, what colloquially may be termed, the ability to ‘stand on their own two feet’.
