Abstract: The social cognitive intervention program was designed based on social information processing model (SIP) and further one short-term intervention study on the basis of the aggressive behaviors of 132 Children were carried out, respectively, by means of dividing those children into the experimental group, the placebo group and the control group. On this basis, the effect of this intervention program on both how to reduce the children's aggressive behaviors and improve their abilities in social information processing has been verified. The results show that: (1) the remarkable immediate effect and sustained effect of this intervention program on how to improve the capability of those aggressive children in the social information processing have been obtained, which mainly behaves as effectively reducing the aggressive children's hostile attribution bias and aggressive behaviors and further helping them to build an affiliation goal and to correctly understand the consequences of their aggressive behaviors via carrying outing the intervention program; (2) the aggressive behaviors in the three groups assessed by the teachers were greatly reduced after the intervention program, therefore, the assessment results were possibly affected by the experimenter' expectation.

Key words: aggressive behavior, Social Information Processing Model, intervention
