The subjects consisted of 30 maladjusted 5th and 6th graders in an elementary school in Chia-Yi city. They were randomly assigned to two groups: One experimental group who received the interpersonal problem- solving training program, and a control group who received a game program. The program basted seven weeks ( 2 sessions a week ). All subjects received a pretest, a posttest and a follow-up test.
The instrument “Adolescent Social Behavior Scale, ASBC” was used to measure students’ social adjustment by the student himself, three classmates and the teacher at the pretest, posttest and follow-up test. The data obtained were analyzed by gain score t-test. In addition, the feedback from the experimental group members and teachers’ interviews were also gathered and presented. The main findings of the study were as follows:
1. The interpersonal problem-solving training program had significant immediate effects on improving the fifth and sixth graders’ adjusted behavior.
2. The interpersonal problem-solving training program only had partial significant immediate effects on improving the fifth and sixth graders’ maladjusted behavior.
3. The interpersonal problem-solving training program only had partial significant long-term effects on improving the fifth and sixth graders’ adjusted behavior.
