Abstract

Objective: This study examined the effectiveness of Conflict Resolution and Peer Mediation (CRPM) training on empowering 10-11-year-old primary school students in resolving interpersonal conflicts during 2011- 2012 in Tehran (Iran). Participants and methods: The participants were fourth- and fifth graders from a midsocioeconomic status school. A quasi-experimental design was used. The experimental group was consisted of 122 students and the control group included 153 students. All the fourth and fifth graders in the experimental group received training. Report forms were filled by both groups before and after training. Results: After the intervention 152 conflicts were reported by students in the experimental group. Out of which, 81 (84.4%) resulted in wiseagreement (win-win) and 15 (15.6%) resulted in no mutual agreement. Conclusion: Results of this study indicated that CRPM training was an effective strategy in empowering primary school students associated with interpersonal conflicts resolution.
