題目:Greater improvement in counting Stroop accuracy following a positive interpersonal and life orientation training program: a non-randomized controlled study in Taiwanese adolescents

 

摘要:Adolescence presents a unique developmental challenge, specifically around inhibitory control (IC), a crucial executive function that, when underdeveloped, strongly predicts negative trajectories like poor academic performance and psychopathology. Our intervention-based study, utilizing the culturally relevant, school-based life skill training, the Positive Interpersonal and Life Orientation Training (PILOT) program, targeted 678 7th-grade students over 12 months to assess its impact on IC and psychological well-being in the PILOT group (n = 404) and the control group (n = 274). Our findings were crucial: the PILOT group showed greater pre-to-post improvement in overall counting Stroop accuracy than the control group. Of the six domains of psychological well-being assessed, the two groups differed on one: self-acceptance declined in the control group but did not change in the PILOT group. Within the PILOT group, change in Stroop interference was associated with concurrent change in three well-being domains. More critically, these observed gains in IC were a significant predictor of subsequent improvements across four critical domains of well-being: Autonomy, Environmental Mastery, Purpose in Life, and Self-Acceptance. These data indicate that a school-based life skills program delivered in ordinary classrooms was accompanied by greater improvement in counting Stroop accuracy, and that its relation to self-reported psychological well-being was confined to the maintenance of self-acceptance. These data indicate that targeted life skills training may serve as a fundamental capacity underpinning broader emotional and personal growth during this critical developmental period.

研究發現:

接受生活技能訓練(PILOT)課程的國中生,其處理干擾的Stroop實驗正確率之提升明顯優於對照組,顯示其抑制控制(inhibitory control)能力有所改善,能更好地抑制住自己的衝動、本能的認知;此外,PILOT課程亦有助於維持青少年的自我接納能力;相較於對照組的自我接納能力下降,上過PILOT 課程的學生則展現出自我接納能力的恢復與提升。整體而言,生活技能訓練能夠正向影響青少年於關鍵發展階段的情緒調節與個人成長等基礎能力。
