    (Universidad de Murcia. Servicio de Publicaciones, 2016) Sánchez-Hernández, Óscar; Méndez Carrillo, Francisco X.; Garber, Judy
    A pilot study was conducted with the primary objective to study the effectiveness of a cognitive-behavioral intervention inspired by the Penn Resiliency Program (PRP; Gillham, Jaycox, Reivich, Seligman, & Sil-ver, 1990;Seligman, Reivich, Jaycox, & Gillham, 2005), for the prevention of depression in students from primary education. The main components of the program include modifying explanatory style and resolving interpersonal problems. Results indicated that there wassignificant improvement from pretest to posttest in the experimental group for children with "high depressive symptoms" compared with controls. Qualitative analysis were consistent with this trend. Conclusions in light of these results are discussed andpotential directions for future research are recommended.
