This study will test whether making plans of action for situations that trigger anger is effective in reducing anger and aggression in adolescents with behavioural problems. Participants will be assigned to three groups: a control group and two experimental groups. Participants assigned to the experimental groups will receive either one general anger trigger or a list of specific anger triggers in addition to a list of strategies that can be used to manage anger. Participants will be instructed to link the triggers with the strategies, thus creating action plans with an if-then structure. Participants assigned to the control group will receive the same lists. However, they will receive different instructions which will ask them to select separately the most encountered triggers and the most useful strategies. It is expected that making plans will reduce the anger and aggression of participants. It is also expected that the reduction will be larger for participants with low violent intentions, low callous-unemotional traits and low impulsivity.

---|---|---|---|---|
Primary | Brief Peer Conflict Scale - Youth self-report (Scott, Lapré, Marsee, & Weems, 2014) | Self-report measure of aggression with 20 items. Each item can be rated from 0 (not at all true) to 3 (definitely true). Total scores range from 0 to 60. Higher scores indicate higher aggression. It contains four sub-scales: reactive physical aggression, reactive relational aggression, proactive physical aggression and proactive relational aggression. Each subscale contains 5 items and the score for each range from 0 to 15. | Change from baseline to 6 months after intervention | |
Secondary | Dimensions of Anger Reactions Scale (DAR-5; Novaco, 1975) | Self-report measure of anger with 5 items. Each item can be rated from 1 (none or almost none of the time) to 5 (all or almost all of the time). Total scores range from 5 to 25. Higher scores indicate higher anger symptoms. | Measured at baseline, one month after intervention and 6 months after intervention | |
Secondary | Peer Conflict Scale - Teacher report (Marsee, Kimonis, & Frick, 2004) | Teacher report measure of aggression with 40 items. Each item can be rated from 0 (not at all true) to 3 (definitely true). Total scores range from 0 to 120. Higher scores indicate higher aggression. It contains four sub-scales: reactive physical aggression, reactive relational aggression, proactive physical aggression and proactive relational aggression.
