Few large Social and Emotional Learning program trials have been conducted outside the USA. This dissemination study analyzed the effectiveness of the Positive Attitude Upper Middle program in Portugal. The sample was composed of 2231 middle school students (M = 12.63, SD = 1.09; 47.3% girls), 669 in control groups, and 1562 distributed between the two intervention groups (led by experienced or inexperienced implementers). Students and their teachers reported that students from both intervention groups displayed larger gains in self-control, social awareness, relationship skills and responsible decision-making. For self-control, boys benefited more than girls and experienced implementers led intervention group students to larger gains. Thus, the current study supported the programs' effectiveness and highlighted the role of implementer experience.
在美国以外地区，很少有针对社会情感学习项目的大型试验。这项推广研究分析了葡萄牙“积极态度初中项目”的有效性。样本包括2231名中学生（M = 12.63，标准差 = 1.09；47.3%为女生），669名在对照组，1562名分布在两个干预组（分别由经验丰富或缺乏经验的实施者带领）。学生及其教师报告称，两个干预组的学生在自我控制、社会意识、人际关系技巧和负责任的决策方面都有更大的进步。在自我控制方面，男孩比女孩受益更多，且经验丰富的实施者带领的干预组学生进步更大。因此，本研究支持了该项目的有效性，并突出了实施者经验的作用。
