An Interactive Mobile App Game to Address Aggression (RegnaTales): Pilot Quantitative Study
Overview
This pilot study evaluates RegnaTales, a series of six mobile apps designed to help children aged 6–12 manage anger through psychoeducation and emotion regulation strategies. The research assesses usability, playability, and changes in aggression levels among 72 participants, including those with disruptive behavior disorders and typically developing peers. Results indicate high enjoyment and perceived skill acquisition, with some apps associated with reduced reactive aggression, suggesting the intervention's feasibility for future efficacy testing.
