摘要
This study examined the impact of an afterschool program on resilience in youth at an elementary school in Central NY. The goals of the program were to: (a) increase resiliency among participants, and (b) reduce the occurrence of aggressive behaviors (i. e., bullying) in 5 th and 6 th graders. Of the 79 students who completed the survey, 19 participants were able to be matched with pre-and posttests. In the study, 13 as participants in the afterschool program, and six as nonparticipants. Results of paired samples t-tests indicated that those who participated in the afterschool program showed a significant increase (p= 0.05) in resiliency scores. The program also had a positive impact on decreasing discipline-related referrals.
