After screening based on the assessment of the teacher on The Life Skills Assessment Scale and SDQ, children were randomly assigned to control and experimental groups. Pre-test was conducted with the children using SDQ and Rosenberg’s Self-Esteem Scale while the teacher had filled SDQ and the Life Skills Assessment Scale.

本研究旨在评估一项以艺术为基础的干预计划，透过改善被收容儿童的生活技能和自尊，来减少他们的情绪和行为问题。本研究采用前测后对照组设计。所使用的量表是英语护理者版优势与困难问卷(Goodman, 1977)、乌尔都语版优势与困难问卷(Younis, Jami， & Masood, 2016)和Rosenberg自尊量表(Rosenberg, 1965)。制定并验证了生活技能评估量表。这项研究是在拉瓦尔品第儿童保护局进行的，样本包括28名11至17岁的男孩。根据教师对生活技能评估量表和SDQ的评估进行筛选后，将儿童随机分为对照组和实验组。前测采用SDQ和Rosenberg自尊量表，教师填写SDQ和生活技能评估量表。实验组接受为期四周的艺术干预，而对照组则定期接受有关生活技能的课堂讲座。经过SPSS 21的后测和分析，结果证实实验组的生活技能和自尊显著提高，情绪和行为问题减少。

期刊介绍： Pakistan Journal of Psychological Research (PJPR) is published biannually by the National Institute of Psychology, Quaid-i-Azam University, Pakistan. Its first issue was published in Summer, 1986. Since then two issues, one in summer and the other in winter, have been appearing every year. The Journal provides an outlet for fully documented researches addressing educational, social, developmental, and other areas of Psychology. Preference is given to empirical articles, which deal with the application of psychological knowledge in understanding the problems of national and international importance. The Journal welcomes contributions from all corners. However, participation from the developing countries is eagerly sought in view of its under-representation in research journals published in the West. The PJPR maintains an international editorial board of Consulting Editors belonging to different countries, with expertise in a large number of areas. It employs a double-blind reviewing process i.e., the authors are not identified to reviewers and reviewers are not made known to authors. The contents of PJPR are being abstracted by the Proquest, and in PsycInfo. PJPR is included in the List of Social Sciences Journals recognized by Higher Education Commission, Pakistan.
