A Randomized Controlled Trial of Two Parent–Child Parallel Interventions to Enhance Positive Adaptation of Immigrant Families in Hong Kong: The Moderating Role of Depressive Symptoms

Parents and children who have recently immigrated from the Chinese mainland to Hong Kong face various challenges, including psychological and sociocultural adaptation difficulties. In collaboration with community partners, our research team has developed and implemented culturally sensitive and preventive parent–child parallel interventions to enhance positive adaptation among immigrant parents and children. Two interventions were conducted in this randomized controlled trial: an emotion regulation (ER) arm, which addressed psychological adaptation by reducing parent–child conflicts and improving emotions, and an information provision (IP) arm targeting sociocultural adaptation by increasing participants’ knowledge about Hong Kong. The study randomly assigned 113 and 73 parent–child pairs (allocation ratio 3:2) into the ER and IP arms, respectively. Parents and children attended four two-hour weekly sessions of their assigned intervention and completed assessments before, immediately after, and one month following the intervention. The results showed that in the ER arm, parents showed improved positive affect, and children reported decreases in parent–child conflicts more than their counterparts in the IP arm. In the IP arm, parents and children increased their knowledge, and parents decreased sociocultural adaptation difficulties more than their counterparts in the ER arm. In addition, the moderation analyses showed that in both interventions, parents and children with elevated baseline depressive symptoms obtained greater benefits relative to their counterparts with fewer symptoms. Such marked improvements were seen among parents in negative affect and adaptation difficulties and among children in parent–child conflict, positive and negative affect in the ER arm. More improvements were noted among parents in negative affect and sociocultural adaptation difficulties and among children in negative affect in the IP arm. Future studies are suggested to develop and provide parent–child parallel interventions targeting both psychological and sociocultural adaptations to parents and children with heightened baseline depressive symptoms to facilitate their positive adaptation in Hong Kong.

A mixed-method non-randomized pilot evaluation of a mentalization-informed motivational interviewing group intervention for concerned significant others of adolescents with excessive gaming behaviors

Existing interventions to address gaming disorder or excessive gaming primarily focus on individuals with the disorder. Little research has been undertaken regarding the development and evaluation of interventions tailored for concerned significant others (CSOs), who often feel distressed due to their loved ones’ excessive gaming. This pilot study adopts a mixed-method design to evaluate the impacts of four sessions of a mentalization-informed motivational interviewing group intervention for CSOs. For the quantitative evaluation, a non-randomized controlled design is used. The study involves 38 parents of adolescents who are experiencing excessive gaming in Hong Kong. The intervention group (n = 23) received the CSO intervention; the control group (n = 15) did not. A total of 12 qualitative interviews with the intervention group participants were also conducted to collect their views on the usefulness of the intervention. The quantitative findings show that the intervention group experienced significant improvements in mental health, emotion regulation, and gaming-related parent–child conflict from pre-test to post-test, compared with the control group. The qualitative data corroborates the quantitative findings and provides insights into potential reasons for these improvements. The findings contribute to the knowledge base regarding CSO interventions in the context of gaming disorder—an underexplored area of study.

Do reflection prompts promote children's conflict monitoring and revision of misconceptions?

We tested whether reflection prompts enhance conflict monitoring and facilitate the revision of misconceptions. German children (N = 97, Mage = 7.20, 56% female) were assigned to a prediction or a prediction with reflection condition that included reflection prompts. Children in the prediction with reflection condition (1) showed greater error-related response times and pupil dilation responses, indicating better conflict monitoring, and(2) performed closer to an optimal Bayesian learner, indicating better monitoring-based control. However, by the end of the study, all children had similar levels of misconception revision. Thus, reflection prompts can enhance learning from anomalous evidence by improving conflict monitoring, but they may need to be repeated often to sustain their beneficial effects.

Connections between Parental Phubbing and Electronic Media Use in Young Children: The Mediating Role of Parent-Child Conflict and Moderating Effect of Child Emotion Regulation.

In this digital age, where parental attention is often diverted by digital engagement, the phenomenon of "parental phubbing," defined as parents ignoring their children in favor of mobile devices, is scrutinized for its potential impact on child development. This study, utilizing questionnaire data from 612 parents and Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) with moderated mediation, examines the potential association between parental phubbing and young children's electronic media use. The findings revealed a correlation between parental phubbing and increased electronic media use in children. Parent-child conflict, informed by instances of parental phubbing, was identified as a partial mediator in this relation. Notably, children's emotion regulation emerged as a moderating factor, with adept regulation linked to reduced adverse effects of parental phubbing and improved relational harmony. These findings underscore the importance of parental awareness of their digital behaviors and the benefits of fostering robust parent-child relationships and supporting children's emotional regulation to nurture well-adjusted "digital citizens" in the contemporary media landscape.

A Pre-Trial Standard Operation Procedure for Children in Conflict with Sharia Criminal Law in Malaysia

Criminal offences committed by children in Malaysia do not only involve jurisdiction of the Child Act 2001 (Act 611), (Amendment 2016, A1511) but also jurisdiction of the states’ sharia criminal enactments and acts. Children are not exempted from being a perpetrator and contribute to increased rate in statistic of sharia crime throughout states in Malaysia. The social turmoil of humanity such as birth to an illegitimate child, abandoned babies were the impact from sharia criminal conduct of these children. Among factors for statistical increase on sharia crime by child offenders is due to ambiguity in legal provision regarding the position of child offender and pre-trial procedure for related sharia criminal matter. In fact, the flaws in the enforcement and implementation of pre-trial procedural laws against child offender are evident outcome from these legal ambiguities and the absence of a specific guideline in dealing with these perpetrators. Therefore, this paper discusses on justification on the importance to formulate a better and immediate alternative i.e. to establish a standard operating procedure (SOP) specifically for child offender at the pre-trial stage under the sharia criminal jurisdiction for the states in Malaysia. A pure legalistic study methodology of qualitative approach is used to produce this article. Data is gathered through library research and fieldwork study, which includes some semi-structured interviews with religious enforcers from the Department of Federal Territory Islamic Affairs (JAWI) and the Selangor Islamic Religious Department (JAIS) as respondents. The data were then conceptually and descriptively analyzed. This article presents a substantial justification to establish a pre-trial standard operating procedure for children in conflict with the states’ sharia criminal law in Malaysia.

The joint effects of individual-level and classroom-level teacher−child relationships on children’s psychosocial adjustment: A longitudinal study

This longitudinal study examined the interactive effects of individual- and classroom-level teacher−child relationships on developing externalizing, internalizing, and prosocial behaviors in kindergarten children over time. On two occasions separated by about 1 year, data were collected from 473 kindergarten children (52% boys, Mage = 4.36 years) and their class teachers and mothers in Hong Kong, China. Class teachers reported the closeness and conflict in their relationships with each participating child of their class at Time 1, and mothers reported the child’s externalizing, internalizing, and prosocial behaviors at Times 1 and 2. Results indicated that controlling for child age, gender, grade, maternal education, and prior levels of child adjustment, individual-level teacher−child closeness was negatively associated with internalizing behaviors, and individual-level teacher−child conflict was positively associated with child externalizing behaviors over time. Classroom-level teacher−child closeness and conflict emerged as moderators. The longitudinal association between individual-level teacher−child closeness and externalizing behaviors was negative in low-closeness classrooms but not in high-closeness classrooms. However, the longitudinal association between individual-level teacher−child conflict and child prosocial behaviors was negative in low-conflict classrooms but not in high-conflict classrooms. Despite the statistical significance of the cross-level interaction effects, they were of small effect sizes and explained only very small amounts of variance. Theoretically, our findings demonstrated the interplay of the individual- and classroom-level teacher−child relationships in shaping children’s psychosocial adjustment over time. Practically, our findings highlighted the importance of enhancing teachers’ awareness of the affective quality of their relationships with children at both classroom and individual levels, which could potentially impede or promote child development.

Exploring Mental Health Literacy Among Children In Conflict With The Law

Mental health literacy is one factor that can affect children's quality of life. This study aims to determine and compare the level of literacy and description of mental health in children who conflict with the law (CCL) in the province of Gorontalo, Indonesia. This study uses a mixed parallel method. The researcher collects qualitative and quantitative data using observation, in-depth interviews, document review, and a modified RI1 Mental Health Literacy Questionnaire. Informants are 21 children who conflict with the law (CCL) in Gorontalo Province. The results on the level of mental health literacy showed that out of a total of 6 CCL perpetrators, three children were in the moderate category (50%), three children were in the less category (50%), and none had high literacy (0%). Meanwhile, of 15 CCL victims, 6 children were in the less category (40%), 8 were in the moderate category, and 1 child (7%) had high literacy. On average, the CCL perpetrator's mental state is better than the CCL victim's. CCL victims have the lowest score on cognitive ability, at 38%, and the highest on emotional ability, at 44%. CCL perpetrators have the lowest emotional ability at 34% and the highest cognitive ability at 41%. The legal process triggers stress, anxiety, poor sleeping and eating functions, communication disorders, and a drastic decrease in self-confidence. Providing a mental health literacy program can be a preventive measure to maintain mental health so they are ready to return to society.

Longitudinal Study on Development of Coping Strategies for Early Childhood Conflicts Regarding Object Possession and Related Factors1

AbstractChildren experience peer relationship conflicts related to object possession from early childhood. They achieve social–emotional development by adjusting mutual desires and overcoming conflicts using different conflict‐coping strategies. Conflict studies have examined the effects of conditions, such as who first owned an object, and strategies employed by children of varying age groups. On the other hand, longitudinal studies on this issue are rare. We examined children's conflict‐coping strategy development under different conditions about who possessed an object first using data from three time points in early childhood. The results showed no effects of conditions on three developmental patterns: strategy transition characterized by dependence on others, social strategy dominance characterized by autonomy, or emotional strategy dominance characterized by non‐autonomy. Logistic regression analysis indicated that gender and inhibitory control defined these patterns. Moreover, there was an interactional effect of family caregiving attitudes and opportunities for contact with peers. These results indicate the reciprocal influence of family caregiving and peer relationship on early childhood development related to conflict experiences.

Lived Experience of Reformed Children in Conflict with the Law

This qualitative study explored the experiences of four reformed children in conflict with the law (CICL) in General Santos City, focusing on their journey through the case management process. The in-depth interviews were conducted with purposefully selected participants while the data were processed and analyzed thematically. The narratives revealed that these CICLs faced various factors that led them to conflict with the law. Their experiences during the diversion and rehabilitation program at Bahay Pag-Asa for Boys showed that the length of their stay depended on the nature of their case and their adherence to the program's terms. The structured daily schedule offered a variety of rehabilitative activities, and the program provided support to help them overcome the various challenges they faced through guidance, acceptance, prayer, and a personal commitment to change. However, the programs offered limited support. They primarily focused on monitoring, home visits, and financial assistance (when funds were available). The participants viewed hope as a crucial factor in their transformation. It motivated them to change, gave them the belief of living a good life, and provided a sense of purpose. The aspirations helped them realize life's meaning, and hope signifies the restoration of order. The case management process aimed to repair the harm caused, and the children's situations were addressed through reintegration (reinstituting them back into society) while ensuring fair treatment. Community-based programs offered during reintegration and aftercare further facilitated the restoration of peace, healing, and reconciliation. Ultimately, the experiences of these reformed CICLs highlight that their success hinged not only on the programs offered but also on their self-determination to make positive life choices.

NILAI-NILAI FILOSOFIS EMOSI SEBAGAI DASAR BIMBINGAN MENTAL ANAK DI SMK PONDOK PESANTREN AL FALLAH LAMPUNG TENGAH

The role of school institutions in the mental formation of children has long been played by formal institutions. Essentially, every school has forms of local wisdom that are inherent and serve as a resilience system in dealing with a variety of problems. What drove this study was the existence of problems that occur in the SMK Ponpes Al Falah: first, the emotional temperament of children that sometimes leads to fatalism. Second, the child conflict that always reappears occurs between fellow friends and between good classmates sons and daughters who always justify the right. Third, the internal conflict in the classroom that sometimes does not end is caused by the individual's emotions being less able to control themselves.Philosophical values become the form of local norms used by the head of school and teachers in school institutions. Using interpretative analysis of data from observations and interviews, the study found that the philosophical values adhered to by the school's institution formed the foundation for addressing a variety of problems. The study found that the philosophical values adhered to by the school institutions form the foundation for addressing a variety of problems. The principal, who also serves as a dynamic force in this study, has important roles to play in terms of socialisation, integration, normative influence, and social control.

Narrative Identities of Center-based Filipino Children in Conflict with the Law

This study examined the narrative identities of 10 male, center-based, Filipino children in conflict with the law (CICL) from their stories of their experiences before entering the youth rehabilitation center, during their commitment at the center, and their perception of the future after they leave the center. Participants were minors when they were charged with the commission of an offense, but were 18 to 22 years old at the time of the interviews. Multiple in-depth, face-to-face, semi-structured interviews were conducted using an adapted life story interview guide to elicit participants’ self-defining memories and views of the past, present, and future, following protocols approved by the University Research Ethics Committee and research guidelines for juvenile justice populations. Data were analyzed inductively using thematic narrative analysis and revealed three depicted identities across time points, manifesting a sense of sameness and continuity in the CICL’s views of themselves. In particular, the CICL depicted the self as a young person in need, with capabilities, and demonstrating concern for others. The study contributes to the development of a theory and program framework that can support the positive development of CICL, before, during, and after their stay in the youth rehabilitation center by identifying important elements for focus.

Mediators and moderators of the effects of the COVID-19 crisis on parent–child conflict in children in tertiary mental health care

This study focused on children treated for mental health problems during the pandemic. The present study examined how parent’s difficulties in managing COVID-19 restrictions increased children's behavioral problems (internalizing and externalizing) and parent–child conflict through parental mental health and parental stress. Family functioning, particularly problem-solving ability, was tested as a resilience factor. were collected using online surveys from 337 parents with a child between the ages of 4 and 18 years who was receiving active outpatient mental health treatment at a pediatric tertiary care center. Parents who reported a greater impact of COVID-19 reported more behavioral difficulties in their children. This relationship was significantly mediated by parental mental health (general stress, anxiety, and depression) and parental stress. Similar indirect pathways were observed when examining internalizing and externalizing problems in children, where the most significant pathway had parental stress as the sole mediator. Furthermore, the effect of COVID-19 impact on parent–child conflict through parental stress was significantly moderated by problem-solving skills within the family. Parenting stress mediates the impact of COVID-19 on parent–child conflict. Interventions improving within family problem solving-skills may decrease the effect of parental stress on parent–child conflict.

Assessing the Impact of Holistic Intervention Program for Children in Conflict with the Law (CICL) After Rehabilitation in Bahay Pag-Asa in Cauayan City, Isabela

This study examines the impact of holistic intervention programs for Children in Conflict with the Law (CICL) who underwent rehabilitation at Bahay Pag-Asa. The research investigates the experiences of the children, challenges encountered during the intervention programs, strategies employed to address these challenges, the effects of the programs on rehabilitation, and the valuable lessons learned. The findings of the study show that while some children had positive experiences and benefited from vocational training, sports, and spiritual enhancement, others faced difficulties adapting to the structured environment and needed more personalized attention. The intervention programs positively influenced rehabilitation, increasing self-awareness, improved social skills, and enhanced vocational abilities. However, the study identified challenges like loneliness, homesickness, and social problems. The findings highlight the need for ongoing support, individualized interventions, and comprehensive reintegration strategies. This research contributes to understanding practical rehabilitation approaches for CICL and underscores the importance of holistic programs in promoting successful reintegration into society.

Implementation of Diversion for Children in Conflict with the Law by the National Police of Indonesia

This research explores the execution of diversion for juveniles in conflict with the law by the Indonesian National Police. Analyzing and evaluating the Indonesian justice system’s regulation of the safeguarding of children who are in conflict with the law and diversion as an aspect of safeguarding children constitutes normative research. Statutory and conceptual approaches are utilized throughout the investigation. Restorative justice is a component of the police’s strategy to combat crime on the ground, according to the findings of this study. The fundamental concept of diversion in juvenile restorative justice is the transfer of cases involving juveniles from the criminal justice process to an impartial process outside of the judicial system, with an emphasis on restoring the original situation as opposed to punishment. Consequently, the application of diversion in restoration justice in the system for juvenile offenders is less effective in the police.
