Adolescents' aggressive behavior is a growing social problem with important implications for psychosocial adjustment. The teaching of emotional skills has an important impact on reducing aggression in schools. However, little scientific evidence has shown the explanatory mechanism through which this training reduces aggression during adolescence. This article aims to provide evidence for the effectiveness of a 3-year longitudinal intervention among adolescents in nine Spanish schools. A total of 476 adolescents participated. Results showed a reduction in physical and verbal aggression in Time 2 through the reduction in negative affect, anger, and hostile feelings, compared with an active control group. The training seems to be crucial for dealing with the emotional and cognitive components of aggression and, thus, their behavioral manifestations.
青少年的攻击行为是一个日益严重的社会问题，对其心理社会适应有重要影响。情绪技能的教学对减少学校中的攻击行为有重要作用。然而，很少有科学证据表明这种训练是如何通过何种机制在青少年时期减少攻击行为的。本文旨在为西班牙 9 所学校的 476 名青少年进行的为期 3 年的纵向干预提供证据。结果表明，与积极对照组相比，实验组在时间 2 时的身体和言语攻击减少，这是通过降低负性情绪、愤怒和敌意等情绪因素实现的。培训似乎对于处理情绪和认知成分以及由此产生的行为表现至关重要。
