研究组 & 干预措施
Pythagorean Self Awareness Intervention for Children and Adolescence(PSAI-CA)
The intervention is based on the principles of the teaching of the ancient Greek philosopher Pythagoras. These principals set a basic framework for behavior on the basis of experiential learning and weekly evaluation of the implementation of 12 virtues. The technique is practiced twice a day(before night sleep and in the morning before getting up from bed) and evolves into five successive steps;1)reading of the 12 virtues and diaphragmatic breathing, 2)recall every event og the day,3)third person visualization and self-observation, 4)self-dialogue "What have I done wrong?", "What have I done right?", "What have I omitted that I ought to have done?" Endorsement or disapproval of actions according to the 12 virtues and the instructions for a healthy lifestyle, 5) next morning brief revision of the previous night's conclusions and setting of goals for the upcoming day.
