This pilot research aims firstly, to evaluate the group status (popularity, rejection, and isolation) related to dysfunctional behaviors, and secondly, to analyze the efficiency of an intervention program to promote the peaceful resolution of interpersonal problems. Socio-emotional relationship and behavior of 117 boys /girls aged between 9 to 11 year old of 4th and 5th grade were evaluated. A psycho-educational intervention program was implemented and assessed pre and post intervention. The results showed that the socio-cognitive skills training were effective to reduce the aggressive response through other alternative behaviors and the early decision process to solve peer conflicts.
