Produktbeschreibung

The current study investigated the efficacy of the
pilot program of the Family Conflict Intervention
Program. Interparental conflict has been shown to
adversely affect children s functioning across
several response domains including cognitions,
behaviors, emotions, and coping. However, few
programs are designed to enhance children s ability
to successfully cope with interparental conflict.
The program was designed to impart skills to enhance
children s ability to manage the deleterious effects
of family conflict. Several components and
resources from the Children of Divorce Intervention
Program (CODIP) guided the development of the
current pilot program.
Forty second- and third-grade children participated
in the eight-week intervention. Pretest and
posttest data were collected from children, group
leaders, and a subset of parents. Support was found
across multiple informants for the goals of the
program. The current pilot advances research
in the domain of child-based preventive intervention
programs by developing and testing a new
intervention that targets a broader population of
children from an array of family configurations.
