Child Evaluation Form
For each question the children had a choice of three answers: “Yes” (happy face) “No” (sad face) and ”Not Sure” (neutral face). The latter option provided children in doubt with an opportunity to express their ambiguity. When considered necessary, the questions were read aloud by the presenter.

	Yes	No	Not Sure
1. Kelly Bear taught me what to do if someone tries to bully me.	90%	5%	5%
2. I learned why some children bully others.	75%	8%	17%
3. Kelly Bear taught me to bully other children.	3%	96%	1%
4. I learned to help a child who is being bullied.	91%	4%	5%
5. I learned how to look and listen for feelings in others.	89%	1%	10%
6. Kelly Bear taught me how to help other children work out their problems.	90%	3%	7%
7. Kelly Bear taught me how to act in a mean way toward children who are different from me.	4%	92%	4%
8. If I have a problem I learned to stop and think ahead about what might happen before I do anything.	91%	3%	6%
9. Kelly Bear taught me to say bad things to myself when I am upset.	4%	91%	5%
10. I learned ways to help myself feel better when I am angry or sad.	89%	3%	8%

Note: For children’s responses to “Think about how you were before you heard about Kelly Bear. Do you act the same or differently? If you act differently, in what way have you changed?” and “What is the most important thing that you learned from Kelly Bear?” see Appendix B in the .pdf document.

Teacher Evaluation Form
The evaluation form consisted of five choices per question:
“Strongly Disagree,” “Somewhat Disagree,” “Uncertain,” “Somewhat Agree,” and “Strongly Agree.”
The “Uncertain” option was provided for teachers who felt it was difficult to determine if over fifty percent of their students met the majority criteria in each statement.
