2063.7 Shelter on the sheltered children’s: A exploratorie study, Celia Vectore, Ichitaro
Watanabe, Universidade Federal De Uberl&Acirc, India
The purpose of this study was to examine the sheltered children’s conceptions about the shelter. In
order to achieve that interviews and game like aspect activities were done in groups of six children
aged between four to six years old who came from a public shelter. The results show that despite
the short or no time of contact between these children with their families, family references are
frequent in the carried out activities. Discussions on these findings demonstrate the importance of
family introductions in this context and the training for sensitive caregivers.
2063.8 Development and evaluation of intervention program for high-risk infants and mothers,
Hee-jung Lee, Cheonan University, Korea
The main purpose of this study was to develop and evaluate intervention program for high-risk
infants and their mothers. It consisted of three phases, which were needs assessment, development,
and evaluation.Needs assessment was conducted from June to August, 2003. The second phase
was to develop the program based on the needs assessment. The conceptual framework was the
biosocial developmental contextualism based on priming mechanisms (Ramey & Ramey, 1998).
The last phase of the study was evaluation of the program done with 3 pairs of high-risk infants
and mothers from September, 2003 to January, 2004.

Nine- to twelve-year-old children (n=1482) were administered a set of questionnaires to
investigate how three types of aggressiveness, reactive-expressive, reactive-inexpressive, and
proactive-relational, influence children's social information processing. The questionnaires were
the Proactive-Reactive Aggression Questionnaire and an originally developed hypothetical
conflict situation instrument assessing children's response evaluations and outcome expectations
for aggressive responses. Compared to non-aggressive children, expressively and relationally
aggressive children evaluated expressively and relationally aggressive responses in positive ways,
respectively. Structural equation modeling revealed that expressive and relational aggressiveness
actually caused social information processing distortion in expressively and relationally aggressive
responses, respectively.
2063.10 Relations between interparental conflicts and children’s problem behaviors, Liping Chi 1 ,
Ziqiang Xin 2 , 1 Women's University, China; 2 Beijing Normal University, China
Under the cognitive-contextual framework developed by Grych and Ficham (1990), relations
between interparental conflicts perceived by children and their problem behaviors were
investigated in a sample of 303 8-13-year-old children. The results suggested that relations
between interparental conflicts and children’s internalizing problem behaviors were mediated by
children’s cognitive appraisals and emotional responses. Based on this finding, a
cognitive-emotional mediator model was proposed. Unlike internalizing problem behaviors,
children's externalizing problem behaviors were found to be affected directly by interparental
conflicts. As a result, the mechanisms by which interparental conflicts affected children’s
