Helping children resolve past conflicts may be beneficial

11-14-2006 · EurekAlert!

A study of conflict resolution in siblings suggests it is beneficial for children to resolve past disagreements even after the conflict is over. This research was conducted with sixty four pairs of siblings ages 4 to 12. The study concludes that encouraging after-the-fact resolution of differences, parents can help their children develop conflict resolution skills. The study also addressed the factors most likely to affect how conflict is resolved between siblings of different ages.

Teaching mediation skills to parents helps siblings resolve conflicts
05-17-2007 · EurekAlert!
A new study has demonstrated promising results of parents' use of mediation skills to resolve conflicts in children. Half of the parents in a sample of 48 families were trained to use mediation to resolve conflicts with sibling pairs between 5 and 10 years old. Conflicts between siblings were more positively resolved in families that received the mediation training. There were also differences in children’s conflict negotiations depending on whether parents received the mediation training.

The findings are based on two studies of kindergarten and preschool children that assessed understanding of emotions and play and conflict with friends. Children who had one parent express less support than the other parent in response to anger and other negative emotions later had less conflict with friends.

Helping the carbon nanotube industry avoid mega-mistakes of the past
08-20-2007 · EurekAlert!
A new analysis of byproducts discharged to the environment during production of carbon nanotubes -- expected to become the basis of multibillion dollar industries in the 21st century -- has identified cancer-causing compounds, air pollutants and other substances of concern. The data could help the nanotechnology industry avoid unanticipated health and environmental problems that have plagued other technologies, the researchers say. Their study will be described in August at the American Chemical Society national meeting in Boston.

Is Albumin Beneficial In Children With Severe Malaria?
10-02-2006 · ScienceDaily
Children who get severe malaria in Africa are at a high risk of dying in hospital even though there are effective treatments. Some evidence suggests that lowered blood fluid volume is a factor in determining the outcome in these children. However, very few trials have been done that examine the best way of rehydrating children that are in shock from severe malaria, or what type of fluid should be used.

Children's ability to describe past event develops over time
07-20-2007 · EurekAlert!
A study analyzing forensic interviews with 250 4- to 10-year old children found many age-related differences in children’s recall of events experienced. Children’s mention of time, date, or sequence related to events increased as they grew older, with the most dramatic increases after age 10. Older children used short- and long-term scale patterns, while younger children referenced short-term time identifiers. These findings have important implications for using information from forensic interviews with children.

Number of conflicts in the world no longer declining
12-21-2007 · EurekAlert!
The trend toward fewer conflicts reported by peace researchers since the early 1990s now seems to have been broken. This is shown in the latest annual report, "States in Armed Conflict," from the Uppsala Conflict Data Program at the Uppsala University Department of Peace and Conflict Research.
