Full Abstract

In this control group study the Faustlos-Kindergarten version was evaluated. This violence prevention program is based on strengthening social-emotional competences in children. The results of the pre-post-study in 7 intervention and 7 control kindergartens (N=124 children aged 4; 5-6 years) show significant improvements in the childrens' social-emotional competences and significant reduction of aggressive behavior in the Faustlos groups in contrast to the controls.
