Efficacy of Social Streaming Training on High School Boys' Aggression and Perceived Stress

The purpose of this article was to investigate the impact of Social Streaming Training on high school boys' aggressive behavior and perceived stress. The final sample of adolescent boys (n=62) from educational institutions in the Twin Cities of Pakistan was subjected to a quasi-experimental pretest-posttest design and purposive sampling technique. At the time of each intervention session, each training cohort comprised 15 students based on their scores on standardized measures; Brief Aggression Questionnaire (≥ 48), and Perceived Stress Scale (≥ 13) were included in the study.Prior to the post-test, the pre-test and initial introductory sessions were administered over a two-week period, whereas the subsequent training sessions spanned eight weeks. Boys exhibited a positive correlation between aggression and perceived stress, as indicated by the correlation results. In addition, posttest measures of the sample revealed a significant reduction in aggressive behavior and perceived stress following the implementation of skill streaming techniques. Since the fast-paced, competitive environment is overwhelming for adolescent males, this research is crucial for enhancing their calmness and decreasing their stress level. These findings will aid educational and clinical psychologists in effectively addressing these types of problems.
