Resumen
[English] Evidence of risk behavior among adolescents’ inmate is well established in the literature (Mencía-Ripley, Garrido and Fernández, 2014, Hein and Mertz, 2004). However, there is a lack of information regarding reading ability and endorsement of gender roles in this population. This study explores the correlation between these variables in the Dominican Republic. For that, we surveyed 32 participants from a penitentiary in Villa Consuelo, Santo Domingo, using the Gender Ideology Scale (Moya, Expósito and Padilla, 2006) and the Leer Battery (Mencía-Ripley, Sánchez-Vincitore, Garrido & Aguasvivas, 2016). The variables related to reading ability were congruent with the results of previous studies in the Dominican Republic. Even though some results were not statistically significant, they follow the expected tendency.
