To achieve this, the pre- and post-design of a single treatment group in which data were collected over three time periods over two years for all 182 enrolled students was conducted. As a result of repeated measures of ANOVA to examine the significant mean change in the data, this program significantly improved the level of self-control, prosocial behavior, and gratitude of students.
