| Abstract | A preliminary study identified areas of success and impact of a peer mediation program to be implemented in 60 middle and senior high schools in the Philadelphia Public School District during the 1993-1996 academic year periods. During the 1992-1994 period, 719 students and adults received peer mediation training. Data were collected from approximately 80% of all participants. Results indicated that: (1) over 360 disputes were mediated with an average agreement rate of 90%; (2) students and adults were highly satisfied with peer mediation training; (3) peer mediation training improved students' conflict management skills; (4) attitudes about conflicts were related to race, sex, and respondent status; and (5) mediation training decreased students' perceptions that physical violence was an appropriate conflict management behavior. Factors critical to peer mediation program success were the quality of training, training materials that were age-appropriate and culturally sensitive, publicity, administrative support, and coordination and logistics. (Contains 25 tables of data. Appendixes present interview schedules, observation note and content analysis system, quantitative measures, and a peer mediation project summary.) (RS) |
