| Label | Type | Description | Intervention Names |
|---|---|---|---|
| Three times a week MCRF | Experimental | Participants in this arm will participate in the MCRF intervention sessions three times a week for 12 consecutive weeks. |
|
| One time a week MCRF | Experimental | Participants in this arm will participate in the MCRF intervention sessions one time a week for 12 consecutive weeks. |

| Name | Type | Description | Arm Group Labels | Other Names |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Musical Contour Regulation Facilitation (MCRF) | Behavioral | MCRF involves 20-minute music therapy sessions comprised of seven interconnected components. Each session follows the same contour of neutral, low, and high arousal experiences facilitated through music. |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Change in emotion regulation as measured by Emotion Regulation Checklist (ERC) | The Emotion Regulation subscale of the ERC is an 8-item, four-point Likert-type scale to assess ER processes in children. Parents and teachers will complete the ERC pre- and post-intervention. Scores range from 8 to 32 points. Higher scores reflect greater emotion regulation. | Baseline, 12 weeks |
| Change in emotional lability/negativity as measured by Emotion Regulation Checklist (ERC) | The Lability/Negativity subscale of the ERC is a 15-item, four-point Likert-type scale to assess emotional lability in children. Parents and teachers will complete the ERC pre- and post-intervention. Scores range from 15 to 60 points. Higher scores reflect greater emotional lability. | Baseline, 12 weeks |
| Change in behaviors as measured by the Child Behavior Checklist for Ages 1.5-5 (CBCL/1.5-5) | The CBCL/1.5-5 is a 99-item, three-point Likert-type scale to assess internalizing behaviors, externalizing behaviors, attending behaviors, and aggressive in preschool-aged children. Parents will complete the CBCL/1.5-5 pre- and post-intervention. Scores range from 0 to 198 points. Higher scores reflect greater emotional problems. | Baseline, 12 weeks |
| Change in behaviors as measured by the Caregiver-Teacher Report Form (C-TRF) | The C-TRF is a 99-item, three-point Likert-type scale to assess internalizing behaviors, externalizing behaviors, attending behaviors, and aggressive in preschool-aged children. Teachers will complete the CBCL/1.5-5 pre- and post-intervention. Scores range from 0 to 198 points. Higher scores reflect greater emotional problems. | Baseline, 12 weeks |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Change in emotion regulation state as self-reported using the Self Assessment Manikin (SAM) | The SAM is a nonverbal, picture-based, 5-point Likert-type measure of a child's self-reported levels of pleasure (i.e., valence) and arousal (i.e., energy level). Children will complete the SAM at the beginning and end of every intervention session. Scores range from 1 to 5. Higher scores reflect greater happiness and more energy. |

| Pre-session, 20-minute post-session |
| Change in emotion regulation state as observed using the Goal Attainment Scale (GAS) | The GAS is a way to measure individualized clinical progress on a predetermined goal, i.e. preschooler emotion regulation state. The interventionist will complete the GAS at the beginning and end of every intervention session. Scores range from negative 2 to positive 2. Higher scores reflect greater emotion regulation. | Pre-session, 20-minute post-session |
| Percentage of study measures completed | Will be measured by adding the number of measures completed divided by total number of measured administered. | 12 weeks |
| Percentage of child attendance | Will be measured by adding the number of study sessions completed divided by total number of study sessions. | 12 weeks |
| Percentage of intervention components completed by interventionist | Measured by using a self-developed Quality Assurance (QA) checklist that tallies the number of intervention components completed. Scores will range from 0 to 100 percent, with a higher score indicating greater interventionist fidelity. | 12 weeks |
