The purpose of this study is to determine whether an emotion regulation group play therapy program changes children's aggression. The subjects of the study were six third-grade children at Y elementary school in U city who were having difficulties with peer relationships due to aggression problems. Three children in the experimental group were given an emotion regulation group play therapy program twice a week for a total of 10 sessions for 5 weeks, and three children in the control group were given no treatment. To determine changes in aggression, aggression scales were measured and compared before and after. In order to see changes in the child's aggressive behavior, the change in the child's aggressive behavior within the group was measured during each of the 10 sessions of the emotion regulation play therapy program. The results of this study are as follows. First, emotion regulation group play therapy reduced the aggression scale scores of children in the experimental group. Second, emotion regulation group play therapy reduced the number of aggressive behaviors among children in the experimental group. This study suggests that an emotion regulation group play therapy program is useful in changing the behavior of children with aggression. However, as a small-case experimental study targeting three children, there are limitations in generalizing the research results.
