Abstract Details

2023, PhD, University of Cincinnati, Education, Criminal Justice, and Human Services: School Psychology.
Despite a need for supports to combat poor body image and reduce risk for eating disorders among middle school girls, the research on intervention efforts to increase social-emotional competencies has been relatively neglected. The current study examines the effectiveness of a prevention program that combines two evidence-based intervention programs to increase middle school girls’ overall self-awareness and self-management. A multiple baseline design across three groups was used to assess changes in students’ social-emotional learning competencies. Visual analysis of the data showed no evidence of a functional relationship between the intervention implementation and changes in student’s self-ratings on social-emotional learning competencies, a finding that supported previous research that the SEL intervention package has not yet produced the results of the original The Body Project (TBP). In the current study, all three groups reporting that they enjoyed the group intervention with the Grade 8 girls reporting higher levels of agreement that the intervention was effective, acceptable, and relevant. The implications of the research and future directions are discussed.
