Reducing Aggression by Developing Emotional and Inhibitory Control Romero López, Miriam Pichardo Martínez, María Del Carmen Justicia Arráez, Ana Bembibre Serrano, Judit Emotional control Inhibitory control Self-regulation Aggression Executive functions Teacher training The objective of this study is to measure the effectiveness of a program on improving inhibitory and emotional control among children. In addition, it is assessed whether the improvement of these skills has an effect on the reduction of aggressive behavior in pre-school children. The participants were 100 children, 50 belonging to the control group and 50 to the experimental group, aged between 5 and 6 years. Pre-intervention and post-intervention measures of inhibitory and emotional control (BRIEF-P) and aggression (BASC) were taken. A Generalized Linear Mixed Model analysis (GLMM) was performed and found that children in the experimental group scored higher on inhibitory and emotional control compared to their peers in the control group. In addition, these improvements have an effect on the decrease in aggressiveness. In conclusion, preventive research should have among its priorities the design of such program given their implications for psychosocial development. 2021-05-21T07:15:25Z 2021-05-21T07:15:25Z 2021 journal article Romero-López, M.; Pichardo, M.C.; Justicia-Arráez, A.; Bembibre-Serrano, J.
