What this research studies
This research focuses on developing and evaluating a digital program designed to enhance emotion regulation skills among middle school students aged 11-14. By integrating this program into school settings, the project aims to provide teachers with the necessary training and resources to effectively implement the program. The goal is to help students manage their emotions better, which can lead to improved mental health and academic performance. The program is based on social emotional learning principles and seeks to address the mental health challenges that often arise during early adolescence.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: Ideal candidates for this research are middle school students aged 11-14 who may benefit from enhanced emotion regulation skills.
Not a fit: Students who are not in the middle school age range or those who do not experience challenges with emotion regulation may not benefit from this research.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this research could lead to improved emotional well-being and academic outcomes for middle school students.
How similar studies have performed: Previous social emotional learning programs have shown success in improving emotional and behavioral outcomes in school settings, indicating a promising approach.
