The study investigated the effects of reappraisal training on aggressive children. A pre-post-follow-up, experimental-control design was used to evaluate the impact of a small-group intervention that offered practice in reappraisal skills to 89 aggressive children (another 60 were wait-listed). Results indicate that treatment children benefitted in these skills more than their peers. Based on multiple sources of the report (child, parent, teacher), results also point to reduced aggression, anger, anxiety, and social problems, and an increase in self-regulation, all of which sustained at follow-up 7-8 months later. Finally, many outcomes were correlated with benefits in reappraisal skills. Qualitative data gleaned from the study supports these benefits and sheds light on group processes that were helpful. The findings suggest that reappraisal skills training is a useful intervention with aggressive children and can be successfully delivered in small groups.
本研究调查了再评价训练对攻击性行为儿童的影响。采用前后测随访的实验对照设计，评估了一项小组干预措施的影响，该措施为 89 名攻击性行为儿童（另有 60 名儿童为候补名单）提供了再评价技能的实践机会。结果表明，接受治疗的儿童在这些技能上的受益程度超过了他们的同龄人。基于报告的多个来源（儿童、家长、教师），结果还表明攻击行为、愤怒、焦虑和社会问题减少，自我调节能力增强，所有这些都在 7-8 个月后的随访中得到了维持。最后，许多结果与再评价技能的益处相关。从研究中收集的定性数据支持了这些益处，并阐明了有助于治疗的小组过程。研究结果表明，再评价技能训练是一种对攻击性行为儿童有用的干预措施，可以在小组中成功实施。
