Understanding children's interpersonal conflict: effects on mental health and interventions to reduce it

本项目将使用先进的定量方法对大规模数据集进行二级数据分析，以了解儿童在家庭环境（与兄弟姐妹）和家庭外（与同龄人）的人际冲突对儿童后期心理健康和福祉的影响。它还将探讨父母和学校为基础的干预措施是否可以减少儿童的人际冲突水平。具体而言，该项目将：1。阐明的认知机制，这可能是负责与同龄人和/或兄弟姐妹和后来的心理健康问题的冲突的受害者之间的关系，使用来自英国的纵向出生队列研究的数据，雅芳纵向研究的父母和孩子（ALSPAC）。2.探索不可思议的岁月亲职干预对儿童人际冲突水平的影响。具体来说，它将检查是否令人难以置信的岁月影响儿童的冲突水平与他们的父母，兄弟姐妹，同龄人，相对于控制。数据来自随机对照试验的汇总数据，这些试验评估了欧洲七个国家的Incredible Years育儿干预措施。使用KiVa反欺凌干预的数据，检查旨在减少同龄人之间冲突的学校反欺凌干预是否也改善了兄弟姐妹关系

This project will use advanced quantitative methods to conduct secondary data analysis of large-scale datasets, to understand the effects of children's interpersonal conflict within the family context (with their siblings) and outside the home (with their peers) on children's later mental health and wellbeing. It will also explore whether parenting and school-based interventions can reduce levels of children's interpersonal conflict. Specifically, this project will: 1. Elucidate the cognitive mechanisms which might be responsible for the relationship between being the victim of conflict with peers and/or siblings and later mental health difficulties, using data from a UK based longitudinal birth cohort study, the Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children (ALSPAC). 2. Explore the effects of the Incredible Years parenting intervention on children's levels of interpersonal conflict. Specifically, it will examine whether Incredible Years influences levels of children's conflict with their parents, siblings, and same age peers, relative to a control. Data is from a pooled data from randomised controlled trials evaluating the Incredible Years parenting intervention in seven countries across Europe.3. Examine whether school-based anti-bullying interventions, designed to reduce conflict amongst peers, also improve sibling relationships, using data from the KiVa anti-bullying intervention
