Developing Positive Attitudes for Life in the Twenty-First Century: The 'Thought Power' Programme used with Teenage Students in Hong Kong.

Lam, Judy; Winter, Sam

School Psychology International, v21 n2 p136-51 May 2000

A version of Chapman's Thought Power Programme, which focuses on stress identification, emotional versus physical pain, and problem solving, was administered to Hong Kong secondary school students. Data on harmful thoughts; helpful thoughts; general well being; and locus of control all revealed positive benefits of the program. Findings suggest a role for such a program in regular schools with non-problem students. (JDM)
