Abstract
Abstract The study measured the impact of a gender-specific school counseling curriculum, Girl Squad (GS), on Grade 5 females' (n = 151) perceptions of relational aggressive, prosocial behaviors, and connectedness. Results from an analysis of covariance revealed participants in the treatment group (n = 85) who received the GS curriculum perceived less relational aggression after participation when compared to the comparison group (n = 66) who did not receive the intervention. Recommendations for future research are discussed.
