Abstract

The Hand Test was administered to 107 maximum-security prison inmates. The Acting Out Score (AOS) was computed, and 1 year later, the actual acting out (rule in fraction behavior) for the same inmates was recorded. A Pearson raf.51 was significant beyond the .001 level, and the conclusion was that the Hand Test AUS could be useful in helping to identify inmates who have the potential for acting out.
