An independent samples t-test including experimental group assignment as the<br />

grouping variable and children‘s pre-intervention TOPEL Definitional Vocabulary sc<strong>or</strong>es<br />

as the dependent variable revealed no statistically significant differences in vocabulary<br />

skills between children in classrooms assigned to the intervention and book reading<br />

control groups (t = 1.22, ns).<br />

A MANOVA including experimental group assignment as the independent<br />

variable and children‘s pre-intervention AKT affective labeling and affective perspective<br />

taking sc<strong>or</strong>es as the dependent variables revealed that children in classrooms assigned to<br />

the intervention group had higher AKT affective labeling (M = 14.37) and affective<br />

perspective taking (M = 36.74) sc<strong>or</strong>es than children in classrooms assigned to the book<br />

reading control group (M = 13.52, F (1, 112) = 4.90, p < .05 f<strong>or</strong> affective labeling, M =<br />

34.71, F (1, 112) = 5.03, p < .05 f<strong>or</strong> affective perspective taking).<br />

A MANOVA including experimental group assignment as the independent<br />

variable and children‘s pre-intervention MPAC Productive, Negative/Frustrated, and<br />

Positive aggregate sc<strong>or</strong>es as the dependent variables revealed statistically significant<br />

differences in children‘s pre-intervention MPAC Productive aggregate sc<strong>or</strong>es (F (1, 112)<br />

= 4.83, p < .05). Children in classrooms assigned to the intervention group (M = 6.65)<br />

had significantly higher sc<strong>or</strong>es than children in classrooms assigned to the book reading<br />

control (M = 6.35) group. Differences in children‘s pre-intervention MPAC Positive<br />

aggregate sc<strong>or</strong>es approached statistical significance (F (1, 112) = 3.45, p < .10), with the<br />

intervention group (M = 7.39) again demonstrating higher sc<strong>or</strong>es than the book reading<br />

control group (M = 6.62).<br />
