Methods: A pre–posttest, 1-month follow-up nonequivalent control group quasi-experimental design was used. In total, 71 school bullies were included in the analysis. Results: The effects of this program were significant with regard to group-by-time interaction effects on social competence, emotional regulation, empathy, and school bullying behavior at the 1-month follow-up. Conclusions: The results indicate that the SECE program was effective at reducing school bullying behavior in adolescents who bully.
