简要总结
This study aims to assess the effects of an intervention to improve emotional regulation skills in adolescents with affective (anxiety and/or depression) and behavioral problems.
详细描述
Emotional regulation skills and strategies are a protective factor against various problems and psychopathologies. The development and maintenance of affective symptoms are usually very harmful to the adolescent and for his/her family and social environment and can lead to other more serious psychological problems (depression, anxiety, adaptive disorders, etc.) or problems of socio-educational maladjustment.
This study aims to improve the emotional regulation of adolescents who present affective symptoms related to anxiety, depression, or behavioral problems, such as difficulties in their interpersonal relationships, impulsivity, anxiety, anger attacks, low tolerance to frustration, apathy, or sadness. The intervention program, applied through a video game, is an intervention protocol for emotional well-being that has been tested and validated in an adolescent population with emotional and behavioral problems.
