Overview
This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a 12-session cognitive-behavioral transdiagnostic protocol for Spanish children aged 8 to 12 within an educational context, Super Skills for Life. The program, designed to enhance emotional management and social interaction skills, will be delivered in a group format and supplemented with multimedia materials. The study will compare outcomes between an intervention group and a wait-list control group.
Description
A 2 x 4 factorial design will be employed, with the intervention condition (intervention or waiting list) as the intergroup factor and the evaluation phase (pretest, posttest, 6-month follow-up, and 12-month follow-up) as the intragroup factor. Both parents and children will complete the same assessments at baseline, post-treatment, and follow-up stages. The researchers will analyze the changes in emotional and social variables from pre- to post-assessment in children who participate in the program.
