The purpose of this study was to assess the efficacy of rational emotive education (REE) as a mental health prevention program for adolescents. The subjects included 109 eleventh - and twelfth - grade students enrolled in four introductory psychology courses and who were divided into experimental and control classes. Experimental subjects received 12 biweekly sessions of REE. Subjects were pre - and post tested on three measures of psychosocial adaptation : the rational behaviour inventory (RBI), the defense mechanism inventory (DMI), and the eysenck personality inventory (EPI). The effects of REE Upon behaviour were also examined by comparing academic effort grades, number of detentions, and grade points averages. Overall results showed significant positive changes in use of more adaptive defense mechanisms and in academic effort grades in the predicted direction. No significant changes occurred on the other measures. However, as a distinctive group, 17 - year - olds - demonstrated a significant reduction in neuroticism scores and as significant increase in academic effort grades.
