Abstract

Purpose: We undertook a systematic review and meta-analysis of intervention research studies focused on strengthening the social information-processing (SIP) skills of children. Methods: A systematic search and review process was employed to identify, screen, and summarize research on SIP-guided interventions. Results: The search recovered 183,184 citations published from 1997 to 2022. After screening, 42 articles were retained for a full-text review. Findings from the 15 studies using more rigorous designs [i.e., 8 individual-level randomized control trials (RCTs), 5 cluster-level RCTs, and 2 quasi-experimental studies with statistical controls for selectivity] suggest that SIP-focused interventions produced statistically significant treatment effects on cognitive skills, with mean effect sizes of 0.35 on encoding, 0.13 on hostile attribution bias, 0.13 on goal formulation, 0.16 on response decision, and—more behaviorally—0.37 on aggressive and disruptive comportment. Conclusions: SIP-focused interventions are effective. If widely implemented, they hold the potential to reduce aggressive behavior in childhood.

提高儿童社会信息处理技能干预措施的系统评价和荟萃分析

目的：我们对旨在加强儿童社会信息处理（SIP）技能的干预研究进行了系统回顾和荟萃分析。方法：采用系统的检索和回顾过程来识别、筛选和总结SIP指导干预措施的研究。结果：检索到1997年至2022年发表的183184篇引文。筛选后，保留了42篇文章进行全文审查。使用更严格设计的15项研究[即8项个体水平随机对照试验（RCT）、5项集群水平随机对照实验和2项选择性统计对照的准实验研究]的结果表明，以SIP为重点的干预措施对认知技能产生了统计学上显著的治疗效果，编码的平均效果大小为0.35，0.13在敌意归因偏见上，0.13在目标制定上，0.16在回应决策上，更具体地说，0.37在攻击性和破坏性行为上。结论：以SIP为重点的干预措施是有效的。如果广泛实施，它们有可能减少儿童时期的攻击行为。

期刊介绍： Research on Social Work Practice, sponsored by the Society for Social Work and Research, is a disciplinary journal devoted to the publication of empirical research concerning the methods and outcomes of social work practice. Social work practice is broadly interpreted to refer to the application of intentionally designed social work intervention programs to problems of societal and/or interpersonal importance, including behavior analysis or psychotherapy involving individuals; case management; practice involving couples, families, and small groups; community practice education; and the development, implementation, and evaluation of social policies.
