for children who were involved in the program. Positive effects were also detected when
comparing peer mediators to a comparison group at their same school. Peer mediators
who had been identified as disruptive showed even larger increases in self control, self
concept, and locus of control.
The results of this study offer encouraging implications for practice. Children who
learned and applied conflict resolution skills tended to have more self control, a better
self concept, and an increase in the power they feel they have over daily occurrences.
Mediation is one small part of a larger school goal; to teach children to be self managing
individuals. Although peer mediation cannot promise an end to all of children's problems
or violence, it may be one powerful preventative technique.
