These findings are consistent with a recent large - scale evaluation of «KidsMatter», the primary school mental health initiative in Australia which found that children's (N = 4970) social and
emotional competencies significantly improved across average - to - high implementing schools but not in low - implementing schools [40].
Compared to LD, HD participants reported
significantly greater shame proneness, poorer functioning on emotion regulation
competencies (
emotional control, self - awareness and situational responsiveness), less healthy emotion regulation strategy use (less reappraisal and greater suppression), and lower levels of guilt proneness.
