  ABSTRACT: The current study examined the effects of physical education (PE) and sports programs in reducing children’s negative emotional states in disaster-prone areas near the Merapi volcano peak in Indonesia. Participants were 15 physical education and sports teachers, and 810 fourth through sixth grade students at elementary schools. Classes were randomly assigned to intervention and first and second control groups. The intervention group received a specially designed PE and sports program using therapeutic psychosocial practices. The first and second control groups completed the pre-existing PE and sports programs over 28 weeks during the 2014-2015 academic years. Negative emotional states were measured by administering the Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scales (DASS 42) before and after the education programs. A repeated measures analysis of variance showed significant differences between intervention and control groups.
