Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main parameters are decline of externalizing problem behavior and aggression and increase of pro-social behavior.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Alles Kidzzz attempts to influence theory-relevant and empirically proven risk and protective factors for the development of anti-social behavior: increase of competence in children, promoting anger reduction, thinking and acting in a less aggressive and more assertive and pro-social way. Alles Kidzzz selects intervention modules tailor-made based on a competence analysis of the child. We investigate whether Alles Kidzzz will also stimulate parents to approach their child in a more positive way at home (more positive parenting and less negative parenting). With the Parent Management Training Ouders als Coach, the aim is to influence parenting behavior more directly: we expect to see more positive and less negative parenting behavior for parents in this condition at follow-up. We consider the child outcomes self-esteem and social-information processing and the parent outcomes positive and negative parenting as mediators in this study. Finally we will determine circumstances in which Alles Kidzzz yield or does not yield beneficial outcomes by examining possible moderators of treatment effectiveness: child characteristics (gender, IQ), family characteristics (ethnicity, family structure, SES), school features (situation in city or village, religious background, size of school and class, teacher/child ratio, special school wide programmes for social skills like **Vreedzame school**) and treatment integrity (attendance, involvement of child, parent and teacher).
