Research shows that interventions designed to teach social problem solving

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Research has shown that social problem-solving interventions can offer children a sense of mastery and control over the stressful events in their lives. This can lead to increased self-esteem and motivation to solve problems in the future. However, it is not true that these interventions do not benefit children from lower-SES homes or that they increase the risk of adjustment difficulties for children from troubled families. These interventions may actually be particularly helpful for children from disadvantaged backgrounds who may face more social and emotional challenges. The statement that they disrupt existing peer relationships is also not wholly accurate, as some studies have found that these interventions can actually improve children's relationships with peers by teaching them new social skills.
