Effectiveness of Conflict Managers in an Inner-City Elementary School.
Johnson, David W.; And Others
Journal of Educational Research, v89 n5 p280-85 May-Jun 1996
This study examined the effectiveness of an urban peer mediation program. Third- and fourth-grade students were trained as conflict managers to mediate schoolmates' conflicts. They mediated 323 conflicts during the school year; most successfully. Most conflicts involved physical and verbal attacks. Mediation usually resulted in agreements to avoid each other in the future.
