School-Based Interventions for Aggressive and Disruptive Behavior: A Meta-Analysis

Readiness to Implement School-Based Social-Emotional Learning Interventions: Using Research on Factors Related to Implementation to Maximize Quality

“…Social and emotional interventions have evolved out of different traditions including education, social work, child psychiatry, public health, psychology, and prevention (Catalano et al 2004;Greenberg et al 2001;Hahn et al 2007;Wilson and Lipsey 2007). The evidence base for these programs has grown steadily since rigorous trials first established their positive impact on behavioral and academic outcomes; there are now several meta-analyses summarizing this body of research (Durlak et al 2011;Sklad et al 2012).…”

Collaborative for Academic, Social and Emotional Learning (CASEL)

“…While gains in these areas were reduced in magnitude during follow-up assessments and only a small percentage of studies collected follow-up information, effects nevertheless remained statistically significant for a minimum of 6 months after the intervention. Collectively, these results build on positive results reported by other research teams that have conducted related reviews examining the promotion of youth development or the prevention of negative behaviors Greenberg et al, 2001;Hahn et al, 2007;Wilson & Lipsey, 2007;Wilson et al, 2001).…”

“…Hedge's g (Hedges & Olkin, 1985) was the index of effect adjusted whenever possible for any preintervention differences between intervention and control groups (e.g., Wilson & Lipsey, 2007;Wilson et al, 2001). All ESs were calculated such that positive values indicated a favorable result for program students over controls.…”

Long-Term Educational Sustainability: Educational Innovation in Social Vulnerability Contexts

“…Physical and verbal aggression was reduced in boys and girls (Hypothesis 1). Note that emotional learning is related to a lower level of aggressive and maladaptive behaviors [46].…”
