美国学校越来越多地实施社会情感学习计划，以解决各种问题行为（例如欺凌、犯罪）并促进学业成功。目前的研究通过一项为期 3 年的随机临床试验，检验了第二步中学计划（儿童委员会，2008 年）对欺凌、网络欺凌、恐同辱骂和性骚扰行为的直接和间接影响。犯罪行为被视为治疗条件和攻击结果之间的干预变量。堪萨斯州和伊利诺伊州的 36 所学校被分配到第二步条件或控制条件，3,651 名六年级学生在 3 年的四个时间点完成了自我报告调查。第二步条件下的学生在 3 年的学习中总共接受了 41 节课。三年结束时，没有发现对多种形式的攻击行为有直接干预效果。然而，正如假设的那样，在为期 3 年的研究中，第二步学校在头 2 年中自我报告的犯罪行为（干预变量）的减少与欺凌、网络欺凌和恐同辱骂行为的减少显着相关。第二步计划通过减少犯罪行为对欺凌和攻击行为产生的间接影响具有统计学意义。
Social-emotional learning programs are increasingly being implemented in U.S. schools to address a wide range of problematic behaviors (e.g., bullying, delinquency) and to promote academic success. The current study examined the direct and indirect impact of the Second Step Middle School Program (Committee for Children, 2008) on bullying, cyberbullying, homophobic name-calling, and sexual harassment perpetration over the course of a 3-year randomized clinical trial. Delinquency was examined as an intervening variable between treatment condition and aggression outcomes. Thirty-six schools in Kansas and Illinois were assigned to either a Second Step condition or a control condition, and 3,651 sixth-grade students completed self-reported surveys at four time points across 3 years. Students in the Second Step condition received a total of 41 lessons across the 3-year study. No direct intervention effects were found for multiple forms of aggression perpetration at the end of 3 years. However, as hypothesized, decreases in self-reported delinquency (intervening variable) over the first 2 years were significantly related to decreases in bullying, cyberbullying, and homophobic name-calling perpetration for Second Step schools across the 3-year study. Indirect effects of the Second Step program on bullying and aggressive behavior were statistically significant through reductions of delinquency.
