abstract="From a school population of normal children (third through fifth grades), thirty children initially identified as &quot;angry&quot; were randomly assigned to either an affective imagery training group, an attention group, or a control group. The treatment group received three sessions of affective imagery in which they focused on physiological changes and on their thoughts associated with prior emotional experiences. Teachers recorded pre-, post-, and short term follow-up aggressive behaviors for all thirty children. Cognitive perceptions and attributions were recorded at the same three occasions on the Affect Questionnaire. Results suggested that, as a result of affective imagery training, angry children's perceptions and cognitions shifted from &quot;angry&quot; towards &quot;sad,&quot; and there was a concomitant decrease in observed aggressive classroom behavior.<p /><p>Language: en</p>",
