The purpose of this project is to develop and evaluate an interactive multimedia product, on CD-ROM, designed to teach violence prevention skills to youth and thus prevent mental disorders and promote mental health. The program would be designed to change violence-related attitudes and strengthen conflict-related psychosocial skills. The software would make interactive use of video, audio, graphics, text, and music. There would be didactic material and exercises, packaged as games, involving application of the material. In one game, the user sees a video depiction of a conflict, chooses a behavior for the character, and then sees video portraying that choice and its likely interpersonal consequences. Research subjects would be 3,000 6th-8th grade students in an urban and a suburban school system. The experimental design would compare the product to a curriculum-based, teacher-delivered program with similar content. There would be four experimental conditions: CD-ROM, curriculum, both, and control. Subjects will be assessed at three time points (four month intervals). We will examine effects of the interventions on violence- related knowledge, attitudes and behavior, using self-report, teacher- report, school archival, and juvenile court data. The project involves a synthesis of research on youth violence and its prevention with the emerging technology of interactive multimedia. PROPOSED COMMERCIAL APPLICATION: Youth violence is a problem os serious concern to schools. Existing preventative intervention do not seem to have an optimal level of effectiveness. The proposed interactive multimedia product has the potential to make an important contribution to youth violence prevention. Also, the product would be less expensive and easier to use than traditional interventions. There is major commercial potential in the school market and in other youth-related markets as well.

该项目的目的是开发和评估交互式 在CD-ROM上的多媒体产品旨在教授预防暴力 青年的技能，从而防止精神障碍并促进精神 健康。该计划旨在改变与暴力有关的态度 并增强与冲突有关的社会心理技能。该软件会 进行视频，音频，图形，文本和音乐的交互式使用。那里 将是教义的材料和练习，包装为游戏，涉及 材料的应用。在一个游戏中，用户看到视频描述 冲突，为角色选择行为，然后看到视频 描绘这种选择及其可能的人际后果。研究 受试者将是城市和郊区的3,000名6至8年级的学生 学制。实验设计将将产品与 基于课程的教师提供的计划具有相似的内容。那里 将是四个实验条件：CD-ROM，课程，以及 控制。主题将在三个时间点进行评估（四个月 间隔）。我们将研究干预措施对暴力的影响 - 相关知识，态度和行为，使用自我报告，教师 - 报告，学校档案和少年法院数据。该项目涉及一个 综合有关青年暴力的研究及其预防的研究 互动多媒体的新兴技术。 拟议的商业应用： 青年暴力是学校严重关注的问题。现存的 预防性干预似乎没有最佳水平 效力。拟议的交互式多媒体产品具有 为预防青年暴力做出重要贡献的潜力。 而且，该产品比 传统干预措施。有主要商业潜力 学校市场以及其他与青年有关的市场。
