Summary

The social climate in secure settings is an essential element to successful rehabilitation. Previous studies indicate that staff characteristics are a relevant factor contributing to a beneficial social climate. Yet, secure settings form a specific and challenging work environment. Staff members are faced with clients who present a variety of difficult emotional and behavioural problems. Social motives for caring and cooperation can be blocked in a threatening environment, favouring dysfunctional interpersonal dynamics between individuals. This observational study explores the reciprocal influences of social motives between clients and staff on the social climate within secure settings.
