Adolescent Conflict Resolution

Paper Summary:

It questions which techniques teenagers found most effective in helping them resolve conflicts and examines what some of the guidelines teenagers can use when approaching a conflict.

From the Paper:

"This project will be designed to evaluate research previously conducted on conflict resolution programs. Research that has been conducted on these programs has resulted in positive outcomes on increasing conflict resolution skills in teenagers. Offord and Bennet (1994) stated that children and teenagers are both victims and perpetrators of violence. Risk factors that increase the probability of them becoming both victims and perpetrators include socioeconomic status, difficult temperament, chronic illness, psychiatric comorbidity, and parental psychopathology."
