This study compared the efficacy of a novel group-based aggressive script rehearsal treatment program with an emotion regulation program. Participants were 48 incarcerated adult males (28 in the script rehearsal program and 20 in the emotion regulation program). Outcomes, including the frequency of aggressive script rehearsal, aggressive behavior, and emotion regulation difficulties, were measured pre-and post-treatment and at 46 days (on average) after treatment completion, and 104 days (on average) following treatment completion. Linear Mixed Model analyses revealed no significant difference in the frequency of script rehearsal overtime for either program. There was a significant reduction in aggressive behavior associated with the script rehearsal program and a reduction in emotion regulation difficulties for both programs. Future iterations of this aggressive script rehearsal treatment program may benefit from greater intensity and incorporation of strategies that address the many cognitive, affective, and situational factors that trigger and maintain aggressive scripts.

这项研究比较了一种新颖的基于小组的攻击性脚本排练治疗计划与情绪调节计划的功效。参与者为 48 名被监禁的成年男性（剧本排练项目 28 人，情绪调节项目 20 人）。在治疗前和治疗后以及治疗完成后 46 天（平均）和治疗完成后 104 天（平均）测量结果，包括攻击性脚本排练的频率、攻击性行为和情绪调节困难。线性混合模型分析显示，两个节目的剧本排练超时频率没有显着差异。与剧本排练项目相关的攻击行为显着减少，两个项目的情绪调节困难也减少。这种攻击性脚本排练治疗计划的未来迭代可能会受益于更大的强度和策略的结合，这些策略可以解决触发和维持攻击性脚本的许多认知、情感和情境因素。
