Rezumat

Obiectivul studiului a fost de examinare a relației dintre stilul de conducere, dificultățile de reglare emoțională și practicarea iertării, în cazul persoanelor condamnate pentru infracțiuni rutiere.

Metodologie: Datele au fost colectate de la 60 de persoane aflate în evidențele Serviciului de Probațiune Suceava (20-66 ani), aflate în perioade diferite de executare a pedepsei.

Rezultate: Persoanele condamnate pentru infracțiuni rutiere cu dificultăți de control a impulsului adoptă un stil de conducere irațional, iar stilul de conducere disociativ corelează cel mai mult cu dificultățile de reglare emoțională. Practicarea iertării situaționale corelează cu un stil de conducere răbdător-atent, iar specificul stilului de conducere adoptat diferă în funcție de perioada de supraveghere în care se regăsește persoana condamnată. Dificultățile de conștientizare emoțională și stilul de conducere furios corelează negativ cu vârsta, iar persoanele necăsătorite au mai mult un stil de conducere furios și irațional.

Concluzii: În cazul persoanelor condamnate pentru infracțiuni rutiere, intervențiile consilierului de probațiune ar trebui să vizeze încurajarea practicării iertării situaționale, ca strategie de reglare emoțională care favorizează stilul de conducere răbdător-atent, dar și sprijinirea tinerilor și a persoanelor necăsătorite, categoriile cele mai vulnerabile în privința adoptării unui stil de conducere furios și irațional.

Cuvinte cheie: stil de conducere, infracționalitate rutieră, dificultăți de reglare emoțională, iertare de sine, iertare situațională.
