Abstract:
The JobFit-Training for adolescents (Petermann u. Petermann, 2010) is a well documented behavioural psychological prevention program for students from the eighth grade and up. The present study examines the results of the evaluation of the practical implementation of the training over the course of two years. Data from 828 students could be collected in two measurements, before and after the intervention, out of which 323 were eighth-graders and 505 were ninth-graders. The analysis showed that eighth-graders profit more with regards to acquiring knowledge through the training than ninth-graders do. However, unlike male eighth-graders, female eighth-graders were unable to furthermore improve their social competences through the training. On the other hand the ninth-graders profit from the training in both groups with regards to their social competences.
