Self-Evaluation: Self-Enhancement and Self-Verification

Social psychologists have documented that feeling good about ourselves and maintaining positive self-esteem is a powerful motivator of human behavior (Tavris & Aronson, 2008).

However, as you may have experienced as a child, not all play behavior has positive outcomes. Some children are aggressive and want to play roughly. Other children are selfish and do not want to share toys. One form of negative social interactions among children that has become a national concern is...

Area of Science:

  • Developmental Psychology
  • Family Studies
  • Intervention Science

Background:

  • Parent-training programs are crucial for supporting families during developmental transitions.
  • The transition to high school presents unique challenges for adolescents and their families.
  • Emotion regulation is a key skill for adolescent well-being and problem behavior prevention.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the effectiveness of the standard Common Sense Parenting (CSP) program and a modified version, CSP Plus, for low-income families with 8th graders.
  • To assess the impact of these interventions on child emotion regulation, parenting practices, and adolescent preparedness for high school.
  • To determine if CSP Plus offers added benefits over standard CSP during the high school transition.

Main Methods:

  • A randomized controlled trial involving 321 families assigned to CSP, CSP Plus, or a minimal-contact control group.
  • Six-session CSP program targeting parenting and child emotion regulation; CSP Plus added two sessions for peer and activity management.
  • Intent-to-treat structural equation modeling analyses of pretest and posttest parent-reported data.

Main Results:

  • Both CSP and CSP Plus significantly increased parent-reported child emotion regulation skills.
  • CSP Plus demonstrated a significant positive effect on parent perceptions of adolescent preparedness for high school.
  • Neither program showed significant proximal effects on parenting practices.

Conclusions:

  • Common Sense Parenting interventions effectively enhance child emotion regulation, a critical protective factor.
  • CSP Plus shows potential added value in preparing families for the high school transition.
  • Further research may explore long-term impacts on adolescent behavior and adjustment.
