MORELATO, Gabriela; KORZENIOWSKI, Celina; GRECO, Carolina  y  ISON, Mirta. Child Resiliency: Intervention to Promote Resources in Vulnerable Contexts. Rev. Costarric. Psic [online]. 2019, vol.38, n.2, pp.205-223. ISSN 1659-2913.  http://dx.doi.org/10.22544/rcps.v38i02.05.

Our objectives were to assess the efficacy of an intervention program aimed at stimulating social-cognitive resources connected to resilience (internal attributes, problem solving and creativity within the framework of their social environment) and to evaluate the efficacy of the intervention regarding two application modes: complete groups (GC) and reduced groups (GR). Design: quasi-experimental, with pre- and post-evaluation. Sample: 95 school children. Instruments: Resiliency Questionnaire (González-Arratia & Valdez-Medina, 2011), Problem Solving and Family Vulnerability (SPVF, Morelato, 2019), Graphic Creativity Test (Marín-Ibañez, 1995), and the Alternative Uses Test (Guilford, 1950). The children that were intervened with the reduced group mode showed an increase in identifying emotions, generating alternatives, anticipating consequences and verbal creativity. These results provide information about the effectiveness of preventive approaches used in the school context.
