VAN DER MEULEN, Kevin; GRANIZO, Laura; DEL BARRIO, Cristina e DE DIOS, María José. The EQUIP Program for Educators: Its Effects on Cognition and Social Behavior. Pensam. psicol. [online]. 2019, vol.17, n.2, pp.89-105. ISSN 1657-8961. https://doi.org/10.11144/javerianacali.ppsi17-2.peee.
Objective.
EQUIP for Educators (DiBiase et al., 2010) is an educational program, whose purpose is to equip young people with skills and knowledge for their daily life in order to prevent antisocial behavior. The present study aims at analyzing the effects of the program’s application on cognitive distortions, class climate and students’ behavior in bullying situations.
Method.
A total of 123 3rd and 4th grade students from secondary education participated. A quasi-experimental pretest/posttest design with a control group (128 students) was used.
Results.
Positive changes were observed in students’ actions in bullying situations, however no changes in cognitive distortions and perceived class climate were found after the program’s application.
Conclusion.
A very positive perception of the class climate and the low level of cognitive distortions before the intervention could explain the lack of effects, together with other aspects related to the implementation of the EQUIP for Educators program.
