| Abstract: | One hundred and twenty adolescent deviant boys were randomly assigned into two experimental groups and one control group. The two experimental groups underwent yoga-cognitive training (YCT) and human relationship training (HRT) respectively. The control group did not get any training for the entire period. The trainings were administered to adolescent school boys for a period of one year, weekly twice. The parents of the adolescent boys of the experimental groups were given parent management training (PMT). The study adopted before-after design. The data collected were analyzed by using critical ratio (CR). The results show that both experimental groups had significant changes in their maladjustment and antisocial behaviors. When the respective effect of the trainings was compared, yoga-cognitive training had better effect than the human relationship training. The follow-up of these groups showed that the behavior change in the adolescent boys was sustained. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2012 APA, all rights reserved) (journal abstract) |
