DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The supplement to the Surgeon General's Report on Mental Health, entitled "Mental Health: Culture, Race, and Ethnicity" (U.S. Public Health Service, 2001) emphasizes the need to develop, adapt, and evaluate assessment and intervention techniques so that they are maximally sensitive and responsive to the needs of particular minority cultural groups. In response to this need, The Community Schools Program at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) proposes to develop a social information processing measure for inner-city African American girls that is scientifically grounded, based in principles of partnership-based research, and informed by advances of video technologies. The new measure, The Assessment of Social Information Processing through Videos (ASIP-V), will draw upon the reformulated social information processing (SIP) theory, which posits that a child's ability to process a series of social cues within the environment will determine whether he/she responds aggressively. With funding from NIMH (K23 Award), the principal investigator has developed expertise in designing social cognitive measures for urban ethnic minority girls. The proposed R21 extends this partnership-based measurement development research, by combining empirically supported literature with consultation from content area experts and community consultants, and focus groups with 3rd and 4th grade girls, playground supervisors, and teachers to design 8 video vignettes to assess inner-city African American girls' SIP. Following this, an open pilot study with forty 3rd and 4th grade girls from a different school will be conducted in order to obtain information necessary to finalize the measure. Then in Year 2, 190 African American inner-city girls will participate in a validation study to determine whether the factor structure of the ASIP-V conforms to the theoretical factor structure outlined in the reformulated SIP theory (Crick & Dodge, 1994), and whether the measure has strong ecological validity and acceptability for inner-city African American girls. Relevance: This study will develop and validate a culturally-relevant.measure that could be extremely useful in future studies examining the social information processing among urban African American girls.

描述（由申请人提供）：《卫生局局长关于心理健康的报告的补编》，题为“心理健康：文化、种族和族裔”（美国公共卫生服务，2001年），强调有必要发展、调整和评估评估和干预技术，以便最大限度地敏感和响应特定少数民族文化群体的需求。为了满足这一需求，费城儿童医院的社区学校项目（CHOP）建议为市中心的非裔美国女孩制定一项社会信息处理措施，该措施以科学为基础，以伙伴关系为基础的研究原则为基础，并借鉴视频技术的进步。新的测量方法，通过视频评估社会信息处理（ASIP-V），将借鉴重新制定的社会信息处理（SIP）理论，该理论认为，一个孩子在环境中处理一系列社会线索的能力将决定他/她是否做出积极的反应。在NIMH （K23奖）的资助下，首席研究员在设计城市少数民族女孩的社会认知测量方面发展了专业知识。拟议的R21扩展了这种基于伙伴关系的测量发展研究，将经验支持的文献与内容领域专家和社区顾问的咨询结合起来，并与三年级和四年级女孩、操场主管和教师的焦点小组一起设计了8个视频短片，以评估市中心非洲裔美国女孩的SIP。在此之后，将对来自不同学校的43名3年级和4年级女生进行公开的试点研究，以获得最终确定该措施所需的信息。然后在二年级，190名非裔美国内城女孩将参加验证研究，以确定ASIP-V的因素结构是否符合重新制定的SIP理论（Crick & Dodge, 1994）中概述的理论因素结构，以及该措施是否具有较强的生态效度和对非裔美国内城女孩的可接受性。相关性：本研究将开发并验证文化相关性。这对未来研究非裔美国城市女孩的社会信息处理非常有用。
