We present the analysis dataset, do files, and the data collection forms from an evaluation of a 12-week mass media program, i.e. the Ahlan Simsim TV program, to pre-primary Jordanian and Syrian children in three governorates in Jordan. The program selected episodes of "Ahlan Simsim", which aimed at supporting children's social and emotional learning (SEL) in the Middle East. The Sustainable Development Goal 4 highlights the importance of SEL for children's wellbeing and lifelong learning, especially among children who experienced displacement. However, cost-effective and intrinsically motivating SEL interventions are less documented in Low- and Middle-Income Countries and humanitarian settings. To address this research gap, the current project conducted a cluster-randomized controlled trial, where the treatment classrooms incorporated daily viewings of "Ahlan Simsim" into their KG2 curriculum for 12 weeks, while control classrooms continued with the standard curriculum. We examine the impact of the program on children's emotion recognition, emotion situation knowledge, and emotion regulation skills, while exploring the potential moderation effects of children's gender, age, and school governorate. The files provide include: (1) the analysis dataset titled "AS_data_imputed.dta". This STATA dataset includes all the dependent and independent variables used in the analyses. (2) the STATA do file titled "ASmassmedia_main analyses.do". This do file includes all the analyses used to answer our research questions. (3) the STATA do file titled "ASmassmedia_raw_to_analytical.do". This do file includes every step of data cleaning, merging and data imputation conducted in the project. (4) the "Teacher survey.xlsx" refers to the teacher-report survey. (5) the "Child Assessment_quantitative.xlsx" refers to the child-direct quantitative assessment. (6) the "Child Direct Assessment-qualitative and quantitative tasks.docx" includes the child-direct qualitative assessment and quantitative assessment tasks and (7) the "Qualitative Codebook for Child Assessment.docx" contains the coding framework, i.e. how we quantified information from the child-direct qualitative assessment. (8) "Caregiver survey - Baseline.xlsx" and (9) "Caregiver survey - Endline.xlsx" contain caregiver-report surveys at baseline and endline.
