Enhancing prosocial behaviors, reducing aggression: Effects of CEPIDEAS junior in primary school
Prosocial behavior is crucial for positive development, protecting against negative outcomes throughout childhood and adolescence. The CEPIDEAS Junior program (Emotional and Prosocial Competence: An Idea for School) is a school-based intervention based on Social Cognitive Theory, which promotes prosocial behaviors in primary school by integrating its contents into the regular curriculum. Adopting a quasi-experimental design, this study evaluated the effects of the program on prosocial and aggressive behaviors among N = 858 primary school children (381 girls, M = 8.46 years). The intervention group included 435 children (198 girls, M = 8.44 years), while the control group had 423 children (183 girls, M = 8.49 years). Using teacher ratings and self-reports, the results of two bivariate Latent Difference Score models showed the positive impact of the program on prosocial and aggressive behaviors. These results confirm the efficacy of the CEPIDEAS Junior demonstrating the benefits of integrating prosocial into the school curriculum.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Applied Developmental Psychology focuses on two key concepts: human development, which refers to the psychological transformations and modifications that occur during the life cycle and influence an individual behavior within the social milieu; and application of knowledge, which is derived from investigating variables in the developmental process. Its contributions cover research that deals with traditional life span markets (age, social roles, biological status, environmental variables) and broadens the scopes of study to include variables that promote understanding of psychological processes and their onset and development within the life span. Most importantly.
