Abstract

Purpose: Present study investigated the effectiveness of school-based intervention programs on reducing aggression among children and adolescents. Method: A thorough search was carried out on 12 electronic databases. Seventeen studies were finalized, and meta-analyses were performed using a random effect model on RevMan software. Results: Findings reveal that existing school-based programs have a significant effect on reducing aggression (standardized mean differences = −0.35, 95% confidence interval [−0.53, −0.18], Z = 3.92, p < .001). Furthermore, subgroup analysis found that interventions with a theoretical basis, using a randomized controlled trial (RCT) design, or having a short duration of each session (below 45 min), were more effective than ones without a theoretical basis, using a quasi-experimental design, or having longer session duration (above 45 min) on reducing aggressive behaviors. Conclusion: This review provided implications to improve school-based interventions by developing designs based on the guidance of theories and RCT design, as well as limiting session duration.

校本计划对儿童和青少年攻击行为的影响：系统回顾与元分析

目的：本研究调查了校本干预计划对减少儿童和青少年攻击行为的效果。研究方法在 12 个电子数据库中进行了全面搜索。最终确定了 17 项研究，并使用 RevMan 软件的随机效应模型进行了荟萃分析。结果研究结果表明，现有的校本项目对减少攻击行为有显著效果（标准化平均差异 = -0.35，95% 置信区间 [-0.53, -0.18]，Z = 3.92，p <.001）。此外，分组分析发现，有理论依据、采用随机对照试验（RCT）设计或每节课持续时间较短（45 分钟以下）的干预措施，比没有理论依据、采用准实验设计或每节课持续时间较长（45 分钟以上）的干预措施对减少攻击行为更有效。结论本综述为改进校本干预措施提供了启示，即在理论指导和研究性实验设计的基础上进行设计，并限制疗程时间。

期刊介绍： Research on Social Work Practice, sponsored by the Society for Social Work and Research, is a disciplinary journal devoted to the publication of empirical research concerning the methods and outcomes of social work practice. Social work practice is broadly interpreted to refer to the application of intentionally designed social work intervention programs to problems of societal and/or interpersonal importance, including behavior analysis or psychotherapy involving individuals; case management; practice involving couples, families, and small groups; community practice education; and the development, implementation, and evaluation of social policies.
