The purpose of this two-group pretest-posttest quasi-experimental study was to examine the effectiveness of an emotional intelligence development program on the impulsive behavior of junior high school students in extended opportunity education schools in Bangkok. One hundred and sixty-eight participants were randomized equally into the experimental and control groups (84 in each group). The experimental group received the emotional intelligence development program that was developed based on the Bar-On model of the emotional intelligence factors of impulse control, along with the Kolb model of experiential learning, for a period of 4 weeks, while the control group was treated normally. The research instruments were: 1) the emotional intelligence development program; 2) a general information questionnaire; and 3) the Barratt Impulsiveness Scale (BIS11) translated into Thai. The Cronbach’s alpha coefficient for the BIS-11 was .75. General data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, comparing the average impulsive behavior scores in the experimental group before and after the program using dependent t-test, and comparing the average impulsive behavior scores after the program between the experimental group and the control group with independent t-test.
After the experiment the average impulsive behavior score for the experimental group (M = 59.05, SD = 9.87) was lower than before the program (M = 68.18, SD = 6.08) and the control group (M = 69.57, SD = 5.365) at a statistical significance (p<.05).
