Confirmatory factor analysis of a four-factor model – with ‘repression’, 'support’, ‘growth’ and ‘group atmosphere’ as first order factors – and ‘overall group climate’ as a second order factor showed an adequate fit to the data, indicating construct validity of the PGCI. Cronbach’s alpha reliability coefficients were good for all factors. The PGCI is a parsimonious instrument, enabling future research on group climate in youth prisons and secure forensic psychiatric institutions. The instrument can be used as an assessment tool for judicial interventions that use group climate to improve outcomes in delinquent youth and adult delinquents receiving treatment for psychiatric problems.
