Hello, my friend! We’re aware of the connection between anger bias and aggression in children and adolescents who have experienced maltreatment or violence. We aim to explore whether our service can diminish this bias, ultimately curbing their aggressive behavior. Our service focuses on offering positive emotion training. Nonetheless, we’re currently seeking guidance on the appropriate measurements to use in evaluating our program. Could you kindly provide some advice?

You're welcome.

Your suggestion has been greatly appreciated.

To begin, your assessment tools should encompass questionnaires utilized to evaluate the eligibility of project participants. Pertinent measures for your project could encompass a demographic survey (covering aspects like age, gender, and race), a scale gauging the stage of pubertal development, and assessments probing traits such as aggression, anger, conduct problems, callous-unemotional characteristics, and arrest records. The Pubertal Development Scale, a widely employed self-report instrument, demonstrates reliable performance and significant correlations with hormonal and physical indicators of pubertal advancement.
