dc.abstract.enAim: The aim of the study was to analyze correlations between cognitive emotion regulation strategies and life attitudes among convicted recidivists, as well as to compare the results of the examined variables between the men convicted multiple-times and those never convicted, and between groups of recidivists depending on the length of the prison sentence. Material and methods: 246 adult men participated in the study including 124 convicted recidivists and 122 men never convicted. The following questionnaires were used: the Life Attitude Profile – Revised (LAP-R) and the Cognitive Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (ceRQ). Main results: The obtained results indicated that seven out of nine cognitive emotion regulation strategies correlated with the goal-seeking attitude. Moreover, it has been shown that the convicted recidivists used the strategies of self-blaming and catastrophizing more often than the men never convicted, and less often the strategy of blaming others. There were no statistically significant differences found between the levels of the personal meaning scale and the balance of life attitudes in the examined groups. it was also noted that with the number of prison sentences, the frequency of using the strategy of blaming others increased while the level of personal meaning and balance of life attitudes decreased. Practical implications for forensic science: The obtained results of this study provide significant knowledge which can be used in the development of social rehabilitation programs for convicted recidivists. Resocialization activities aimed at regulating emotions and satisfying the need for meaning in life of prisoners may prove to be beneficial preparation for life in freedom in accordance with the law.
