چکیده
The aim of this research was to design an intervention program for adolescents and to assess its effects on social and personal development factors. The study used a pretestintervention-posttest design with control groups. 174 subjects participated as sample, aged 12 to 14 (125 were experimental subjects and 49 were control subjects). Before and after the program, six instruments were administered in order to measure: friendly and prosocial intragroup relations, social behaviors, behavioral problems, self-concept, and prejudiced cognitions. The intervention program applied consisted of a two-hours intervention session once per week throughout one academic year. The program contained 60 activities that stimulate communication, friendly cooperative interactions, expression and understanding of emotions, identification of perceptions and prejudices, and reflection on discrimination, ethnocentrism and solving of human conflicts. The MANCOVA results suggest a highly positive effect of the program. A decrease in prejudiced cognitions was observed. There were also an increase in behaviors with respect to take into account other people and prosocial intragroup relations, a decrease in antisocial behaviors, and an improvement in social self-concept.
