This research investigates the social climate of a juvenile training school utilizing a modified therapeutic community model. It was presumed that there would be two major structural characteristics to affect the social climate of the institution: institutional goals and organizational form. It was hypothesized that although there would be variations in the perception of social climate between staff members and residents, variation among staff categories would be less significant than perceptions among staff at adult institutions. One juvenile training school with a mixed-goal approach (having both custodial and treatment institutional goals) was examined for this study. The data were collected using Form R of the Correctional Institution Environment Scale questionnaire. Researchers collected completed questionnaires from 90 staff members and 97 residents. An analysis of variance lends support to the main hypothesis that there are few significant differences among perceptions of various types of staff members in the institution, although significant differences are present between staff and residents.
