Sustainability, Vol. 9, Pages 1626: Long-Term Educational Sustainability: Educational Innovation in Social Vulnerability Contexts (Sustainability)

This paper investigates the behavior of children from low socioeconomic status families and examines the effects of a socioemotional education program on aggression in children. The results of the program are compared according to the children`s gender and age, the family structure, the parents` educational attainment, and social status. The results show that applying socioemotional education programs reduces children`s aggression and encourages positive development during adolescence. This positive development fosters open, expressive behavior.
