| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Levels of rational and irrational beliefs | The Child and Adolescent Scale of Irrationality will be used in order to test irrational/rational beliefs as a mechanism of change. Children and adolescents were asked to express their agreement/disagreement with the 28 statements on a 5-point Likert-type scale, from 1 ("strong disagreement") to 5 ("strong agreement") | baseline, pre-intervention |
| Changes of rational and irrational beliefs | The Child and Adolescent Scale of Irrationality will be used in order to test irrational/rational beliefs as a mechanism of change. Children and adolescents were asked to express their agreement/disagreement with the 28 statements on a 5-point Likert-type scale, from 1 ("strong disagreement") to 5 ("strong agreement") | Post-intervention (one week after the intervention) |
| Fluctuations in of rational and irrational beliefs | The Child and Adolescent Scale of Irrationality will be used in order to test irrational/rational beliefs as a mechanism of change. Children and adolescents were asked to express their agreement/disagreement with the 28 statements on a 5-point Likert-type scale, from 1 ("strong disagreement") to 5 ("strong agreement") | 6 months Follow-up |
| Levels of emotion-regulation | The Emotion Regulation Index for Children and Adolescents (ERICA) It is a 13-item on a five-point Likert scale, from 0 "strong disagreement" to 5"strong agreement" where higher scores represent better emotional regulation abilities, | baseline, pre-intervention |
| Changes in emotion-regulation | The Emotion Regulation Index for Children and Adolescents (ERICA). It is a 13-item on a five-point Likert scale, from 0 "strong disagreement" to 5"strong agreement" where higher scores represent better emotional regulation abilities, |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Level of emotional distress | The Profile of Emotional Distress (PED) is a is a 40-item self-report instrument measuring functional and dysfunctional negative emotions based on Albert Ellis's binary model of distress, as well as positive emotions. The negative emotion subscales include two dysfunctional emotion dimensions (anxiety and depression) and two functional counterparts (concern and sadness). Responders are asked to assess the degree to which they have experienced each emotion during the previous two weeks, based on a five-point Likert scale ranging from "Not at all" (0) to "Extremely" (4). |

| PsyPills | Other | PsyPills is a self-help psycho-educational instrument intended to build stress resilience and to target (only) mild and transient negative mood states, alone or in combination with other methods/instruments. Psychological Pills (PsyPills) are inspired by Rational-Emotive & Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT/REBT), which has strong evidence for its efficacy/effectiveness in human development/health promotion and in the treatment of a variety of psychological conditions. The PsyPills app was tested in a pilot study and showed positive effects on reducing distress. |

| Levels of child behavioral difficulties | Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ) is a self-report scale that measures emotional and behavioral difficulties in children and adolescents. Its is composed of items and 25 items ranked on a three points Liker scale from "not true" to "almost true". Greater scores at this scale represent higher level of difficulties. | Pre-intervention (one week before the intervention) |
