abstract="In order to test its short- and middle-term impact as well as differential gender effects the universal school-based &quot;Verhaltenstraining für Schulanfänger&quot;, a German prevention program on antisocial behavior for elementary school students, was conducted and evaluated in Luxembourg. In a quasi-experimental setting, nine first grade classes (n=88) were assigned to intervention and control groups. Three waves of data (pretest, posttest and 12-months-follow up) including teacher and student assessments were analysed. As a result intervention effects in terms of significant reductions in oppositional defiant and aggressive behavior as well as an increase in social and emotional competencies according to teachers' assessments at 12-months-follow-up could be observed. Student interviews showed positive short-term effects in terms of increased emotional knowledge and social problem solving competencies at posttest, with girls showing a stronger improvement of their emotional knowledge than boys.<p /><p>Language: de</p>",
