Primary outcomes

  1. Anger Regulation Scale for Adolescents (ARS-A)

    Time frame: Change from baseline (4 months after baseline), 3 months after treatment has ended, and 6 months after treatment has ended.

    Assesses functional and dysfunctional anger regulation. The scale ranges from 1 (Never) to 4 (Always), with higher scores indicating more frequent use of adaptive or maladaptive strategies.

    Time frame: Change from baseline (about 4 months after treatment had ended).

    Assesses caregiver perceptions of child/adolescent anger responses. The scale ranges from 1 ([Almost] Never) to 5 ([Almost] Always), with higher scores indicating more frequent use of adaptive or maladaptive anger responses.

  2. Teacher Anger Rating Scale

    Time frame: Change from baseline (about 4 months after treatment had ended).

    Assesses teacher perceptions of child/adolescent anger responses. The scale ranges from 1 ([Almost] Never) to 5 ([Almost] Always), with higher scores indicating more frequent use of adaptive or maladaptive anger responses.

Other outcomes

  1. Satisfaction questionnaire

    Time frame: At the end of the program (about 4 months after baseline).

    Adolescents rate their levels of treatment satisfaction. The scale ranges from 1 (I completely disagree) to 7 ([I completely agree), with higher scores indicating more satisfaction.
