the Self Regulation Model of sexual offending intermediate outcomes and posttreatment recidivism
Sexual Abuse: A Journal of Research and Treatment, 2014Co-Authors: Drew A Kingston, Pamela M. Yates, Mark E OlverAbstract:The Self-Regulation Model (SRM) is a nine-phase, four-pathway offense process Model designed specifically for sexual offenders that is now being applied to the treatment of this group in many settings and jurisdictions. In the present prospective study, we evaluated the validity and utility of the SRM in a sample of 275 adult male sexual offenders treated within the Correctional Service of Canada. Results indicated that participation in treatment resulted in moderate to large sized improvements from pretreatment to posttreatment on a dynamic risk assessment measure and several Self-reported treatment targets. These changes were, in some cases, differentially associated with Self-Regulation pathways, suggesting that offense pathway is a clinically relevant variable when evaluating treatment change and in conceptualizing sexual offender treatment. In terms of outcome, individuals following the approach pathways, particularly the approach-automatic pathway, demonstrated higher failure rates than individuals following avoidant pathways. However, many of these differences were less pronounced when taking risk for recidivism into account. Implications of these findings for the effective assessment and rehabilitation of sexual offenders are discussed.

The Self-Regulation Model of Sexual Offending: Relationship to Risk and Need
Law and Human Behavior, 2011Co-Authors: Drew A Kingston, Pamela M. Yates, Philip FirestoneAbstract:In the present study, we evaluated the validity and utility of the Self-Regulation Model in a sample of 275 adult male sexual offenders treated within the Correctional Service of Canada (CSC). Individuals following different Self-Regulation pathways, as delineated in the SRM, were compared on offence characteristics, static and dynamic risk measures, and various treatment targets. Multivariate analyses revealed that, in general, offenders guided by approach-motivated goals exhibited more problematic offence characteristics as well as greater risk and treatment need than individuals guided by inhibitory goals. However, several other important distinctions were noted across offenders with different goals and strategies toward offending. These findings highlight the main importance of utilizing a comprehensive and multidimensional offence process Model that emphasizes multiple routes to offending in sexual offender treatment. Implications of these findings for the effective assessment and rehabilitation of sexual offenders are discussed.

the Self Regulation Model of sexual offending the relationship between offence pathways and static and dynamic sexual offence risk
Sexual Abuse: A Journal of Research and Treatment, 2006Co-Authors: Pamela M. Yates, Drew A KingstonAbstract:T. Ward and S. M. Hudson (1998) have proposed a Self-Regulation Model of the offence process which is specific to sexual offenders and which attempts to account for the deficiencies in the traditional relapse prevention Model as applied to this group of offenders. The Self-Regulation Model is a nine-stage process of offending that addresses both the individual's goals with respect to the offending behavior (approach versus avoidance) and the manner in which the individual attempts to achieve these goals (passive versus active), resulting in four hypothesized pathways that lead to sexual offending. The present study evaluated the validity of this Model with a sample of adult male sexual offenders (N=80) treated within the Correctional Service of Canada. Results demonstrated support for the Self-Regulation Model. Specifically, it was found that the four pathways contained in this Model were differentially associated with offender types (e.g., incest offender, rapist, extrafamilial child molester, etc.). In addition, static and dynamic risk factors were found to vary among the four pathways in predicted directions and are consistent with the theoretical Model. Finally, static and dynamic risk factors differentially predicted pathway membership, again in the expected directions. Implications of findings and the Self-Regulation Model for the assessment and treatment of sexual offenders are discussed.

good lives Self Regulation and risk management an integrated Model of sexual offender assessment and treatment
Sexual abuse in Australia and New Zealand, 2008Co-Authors: Pamela M. Yates, Tony WardAbstract:In this article we follow-up on previous works pertaining to separate Models of sexual offending as these relate to assessment and treatment: the Good Lives Model of offender rehabilitation (Ward & Gannon, 2006; Ward & Stewart, 2003), the Self-Regulation Model of the sexual offence process (Ward & Hudson, 1998), and our reconstruction (Ward, Melser, & Yates, 2007) of the Risk/Need/Responsivity Model of correctional intervention (Andrews & Bonta, 2003). Recently, the Good Lives and Self-Regulation Models have been integrated into a combined approach to the treatment of sexual offenders (Ward, Yates, & Long, 2006; Yates & Ward, 2007). In this article, we fully integrate these Models into a comprehensive case formulation approach for use in the assessment, treatment, and supervision of sexual offenders. We also reconstruct here the SelfRegulation Model based on shortcomings identified in the framework, application to practice since its development, and integration with the Good Lives Model. We argue that none of these Models singly is sufficient to guide the assessment and treatment of sexual offenders, and that an integrated Model that draws on research and practice in the development of case formulation, is most likely to be effective in achieving the goals of reduced recidivism, risk reduction, and reduced rates of sexual victimisation.

moderators of the relation between substance use level and problems test of a Self Regulation Model in middle adolescence
Journal of Abnormal Psychology, 2002Co-Authors: Thomas Ashby Wills, James M Sandy, Alison M YaegerAbstract:The authors tested predictions, derived from a Self-Regulation Model, about variables moderating the relationship between level of substance use (tobacco, alcohol, and marijuana) and problems associated with use. Data were from two independent studies of adolescents, with mean ages of 15.4 and 15.5 years (Ns = 1,699 and 1,225). Factor analysis indicated correlated dimensions of control problems and conduct problems. Protective moderation was found for variables indexing good Self-control; risk-enhancing moderation was found for variables indexing poor Self-control. These effects were generally independent of deviance-prone attitudes and externalizing symptomatology. Multiple-group structural Modeling indicated moderation occurred for paths from life stress and coping motives and for paths from level to control and conduct problems. Moderation effects were also found for parental variables, peer variables, and academic competence.

protection and vulnerability processes relevant for early onset of substance use a test among african american children
Health Psychology, 2000Co-Authors: Thomas Ashby Wills, Frederick X Gibbons, Meg Gerrard, Gene H BrodyAbstract:This research tested predictions from a Self-Regulation Model of factors relevant for early onset of tobacco and alcohol use with a community sample of 889 African American children (mean age = 10.5 years). Criterion variables were peer substance use, willingness to use substances, and resistance efficacy (intention to refuse substance offers). Structural Modeling indicated effects of temperament dimensions were mediated through Self-control and risk-taking constructs, which were related to school involvement, life events, and perceived vulnerability to harmful effects of substances. Peer use was predicted by life events, poor Self-control, and parent-child conflict; willingness was predicted by life events, risk taking, and (inversely) parental support; and resistance efficacy was predicted by perceived vulnerability and (inversely) poor Self-control. Findings are discussed with reference to theoretical Models of early protection and vulnerability processes.

activity and mood temperament as predictors of adolescent substance use test of a Self Regulation mediational Model
Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, 1995Co-Authors: Thomas Ashby Wills, Kate Duhamel, Donato VaccaroAbstract:The authors tested a mediational Model of temperament dimensions and substance use with a sample of 1,826 urban adolescents, M age 12.3 years. Five scales from the Revised Dimensions of Temperament Survey (DOTS-R) were administered together with measures of substance (tobacco, alcohol, marijuana) use and measures of related variables derived from a Self-Regulation Model. Unique contributions to substance use were found for DOTS-R dimensions of high activity level (positively related) and positive mood (inversely related). High activity level and low positive mood were also related to lower levels of parental support. Analyses, including multiple regression and structural Modeling, identified generalized Self-control, maladaptive coping (anger and helplessness), novelty seeking, and affiliation with peer substance users as mediating the effect of temperament on substance use, with control for effects of parental support. Parental support was inversely related to substance use through several pathways. Implications for the theory of vulnerability are discussed.

the role of patients illness representations in coping and functioning with addison s disease
British Journal of Health Psychology, 1999Co-Authors: Monique HeijmansAbstract:Objective. To examine the relationship between illness representations, coping behaviour and adaptive outcome in patients with Addison's disease (AD). Design. Cross-sectional. Following Leventhal's Self-Regulation Model (Leventhal, Meyer & Nerenz, 1980), it was hypothesized that illness representations are directly associated with coping and, via coping, with adaptive outcome. Method. The illness representations held by 63 patients with a diagnosis of Addison's disease were explored using a questionnaire and a comprehensive interview, including questions on beliefs about the identity, course, cause, treatment possibilities and consequences of their illness, the coping strategies they use, and their physical and psychological well-being. Results. AD patients differ highly in the subjective experience of their disease. Patients who view their illness as a serious condition with both frequent and serious symptoms and consequences, patients who believe their illness is chronic, and patients who consider their illness uncontrollable were found to engage more in passive coping strategies and to report higher levels of disability with regard to physical functioning, social functioning, mental health and general vitality than those who believed the opposite. Regression analyses indicated that illness representations were better predictors of adaptive outcome than were coping scores. Conclusion. Illness representations seem to play an important role in functioning in Addison's disease. The implications of these findings for the design of health carerelated interventions for AD patients are discussed.

coping and adaptive outcome in chronic fatigue syndrome importance of illness cognitions
Journal of Psychosomatic Research, 1998Co-Authors: Monique HeijmansAbstract:Abstract In this study, the relations between illness representations, coping behavior, and adaptive outcomes in chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) patients ( N =98) were examined. Following Leventhal’s Self-Regulation Model, it was hypothesized that illness representations would be directly related to coping and, via coping, to adaptive outcome. The results showed patients who considered their illness to be a serious condition, who believed that they had no control over their illness, who saw little possibility for cure, and who believed their illness to have serious consequences to cope with their illness in a passive way, report higher levels of impairment in physical and social functioning and report greater problems in mental health and vitality. A series of regression analyses showed illness representations to be stronger predictors of adaptive outcome than coping scores. The implications of these findings for the treatment of CFS patients are discussed.
