Abstract:
This study presents the three-year implementation and effectiveness of the Adolescent Emotion Management Curriculum for junior third-grade students at The Affiliated High School of Peking University, Chaoyang Campus. Designed to meet the socio-emotional needs of students transitioning to senior high school, the curriculum aims to strengthen emotional awareness and regulation, enhance social-emotional competence, and improve interpersonal adaptability through systematic instructional design and diverse pedagogical approaches. Using a mixed-methods approach that integrates quantitative pre- and post-intervention data with qualitative feedback, the study demonstrates significant improvements in students’ positive emotional expression, use of adaptive regulation strategies, and mental health literacy. The program also supported the professional development of homeroom teachers, fostering greater emotional awareness, empathy, and student support skills.
