NCT ID NCT07686874
First seen Jul 07, 2026 · Last updated Jul 08, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This trial tests a structured program called 'Science des Emotions' in French middle schools. About 2,500 students aged 10-13 and 100 educators will take part. The program includes 8 sessions designed to improve emotional awareness, emotion regulation, and psychosocial skills. Researchers will measure changes in students' social and emotional abilities, peer relationships, and classroom climate, and also assess how practical and useful the program feels to both students and teachers.
