DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The effects on children of political violence, and links with community and domestic conflict, are matters of international concern. The mechanisms by which political (i.e., ethnic) conflict and community violence (criminal, sectarian) relate to the family, and, in turn, children's well-being and development are little understood. Children are at risk regardless of formal accords, which may or may not last, as long as sectarianism and segregation between ethnic groups remain. This proposal is to continue investigation of a social ecological model for the effects of political violence on children. The longitudinal sample consists of 700 working class families in Catholic and Protestant areas of Belfast, Northern Ireland. In Phase 1 both mothers and children were interviewed in their home on all aspects of this model (i.e., political, community, family, child regulation and adjustment). Preliminary analyses support the social ecological perspective. A second wave of data will be collected in 2007-2008. Given the unique sample, and the promise of initial model testing, this application requests support to continue to follow this sample for three more waves, spaced one year apart, towards better elucidating the mechanisms, pathways, and conditions underlying associations between political tension and child maladjustment over time. This is a unique opportunity for studying dynamic change processes in these multiple and interrelated contexts over time, with implications for understanding change processes affecting children. Phase 2 is needed to more adequately test and examine the explanatory and predictive value of this perspective, and provides a unique opportunity to study continuity and change in contexts of political violence affecting children and adolescents. This research thus will contribute to understanding of ecological, psychological, and familial processes underlying effects of ethnic conflict in Northern Ireland on children and adolescents, with implications for other regions of the world with histories of ethnic conflict and political violence. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: This study will contribute to understanding of ecological, psychological, and familial processes underlying effects of ethnic conflict in Northern Ireland on children, providing a template for study of the impact of children's exposure to sectarian violence worldwide. More generally, understanding of relations between community violence, family functioning, adolescents' regulatory processes, and adolescent adjustment will be uniquely advanced.

政治暴力对儿童的影响，以及与社区和家庭冲突的联系，是国际关注的问题。政治（即，种族冲突和社区暴力（犯罪、宗派）都与家庭有关，而儿童的福祉和发展则很少得到了解。无论正式协定是否持久，只要各族裔群体之间的宗派主义和隔离仍然存在，儿童就处于危险之中。这项建议是继续调查政治暴力对儿童影响的社会生态模式。纵向样本包括700个工人阶级家庭的天主教和新教地区的贝尔法斯特，北方爱尔兰。在第一阶段，母亲和儿童都在家中接受了关于该模式各个方面的采访（即，政治、社区、家庭、儿童监管和调整）。初步分析支持社会生态学的观点。第二波 数据将在2007-2008年收集。鉴于独特的样本，以及初步模型测试的承诺，该应用程序要求支持继续跟踪该样本的三个波，间隔一年，以更好地阐明机制，途径和条件之间的关联政治紧张局势和儿童失调随着时间的推移。这是一个独特的机会，研究动态变化过程中，随着时间的推移，在这些多重和相互关联的背景下，理解变化过程影响儿童的影响。第二阶段需要更充分地测试和审查这一观点的解释和预测价值，并提供一个独特的机会来研究影响儿童和青少年的政治暴力背景的连续性和变化。因此，这项研究将有助于了解生态，心理和家庭过程的基本影响的种族冲突在北方爱尔兰的儿童和青少年，与世界其他地区的种族冲突和政治暴力的历史。公共卫生关系：这项研究将有助于了解生态，心理和家庭过程的基本影响，在北方爱尔兰的种族冲突对儿童，提供了一个模板的影响，儿童的接触世界各地的宗派暴力的研究。更一般地说，了解社区暴力、家庭暴力和 功能，青少年的调节过程，和青少年的调整将是独特的先进。
