The Results of Teaching Middle School Students Two Relaxation Techniques as Part of a Conflict Prevention Program.
Dacey, John S.; And Others
Research in Middle Level Education Quarterly, v20 n2 p91-102 Win 1997
Boston College Conflict Prevention Program techniques for relaxation and self-control were taught to middle-school students in two Boston schools. Preliminary results from teacher interviews revealed that students spontaneously used these methods to calm their "fight-or-flight" reactions in real conflicts. Results also indicated that females preferred the visualization technique, while males preferred the breathing/muscle relaxation technique. (EV)
