Quasi-experimental mixed-methods design with 97 students aged 7-8 years
Experimental (n = 41) and control (n = 56) groups were formed
Intervention included eight PE sessions with cooperative games, yoga, and motor activities
Data collected through the Children’s Emotional Adjustment Scale and teacher observations
Significant improvements in mood repair and anxiety control in the experimental group (p < .001)
No significant changes in temperament control or social assertiveness
Frequent prosocial behaviors observed, but conflict-resolution skills were less consistent
Pictograms showed strong expressions of joy linked to emotional experiences from sessions
No significant gender differences found
