All participants completed the demographic questionnaire, emotional non-verbal communication questionnaires of Toronto (1994), aggressiveness questionnaires of Bass and Perry (1992), in three stages. The intervention sessions were conducted face-to-face in compliance with health protocols. Hypotheses related to the effectiveness of the research intervention were analyzed using multivariate covariance analysis and Lametrics post hoc test and using SPSS-19 software.
