11. Summary of the new findings of the thesis:

- The thesis has generalized four main trends in research on Psychological adaptation of female offenders to execution term imprisonment at the prison: The components of the psychological adaptation of female offenders, contents and the factors predicting psychological adaptation of female offenders.

- General, many female offenders have a psychological adaptation level at a low point. The number of people with high levels of adaptation is very small. This is reflected in the fact that 90.1% of female offenders adapt to a below average level, which is below 50% of the requirements of execution term imprisonment.

+ In terms of cognitive, the majority of female offenders (85.0%) reach the below-average adaptation level, ie, only between 25 and under 50% of the requirements set; in which cognitive adaptation is higher than awareness of labor activities.

+ In terms of emotions, up to 63.1% of female offenders were able to adapt to emotions at a low level, which only achieved less than 25% of the sentence requirements. Emotional adaptation, among other things, is the content that many prisoners accept to do and balance emotionally better.

+ In terms of behavior, there are 79.2% of female offenders reaching the level of adaptation to less than 50% of the requirements, no female offenders reach the low adaptation level. In particular, female offenders performed at a good level with respect to workday requirements, labor norms and labor operations with the average score > 0.6.

- The psychological adaptation components of female offenders are correlated pros from medium to strong.

- Considering the prediction of factors impact of the psychological adaptation of female offenders, only the factors belonging to female offenders are the most influential to the psychological adaptation of female offenders.
