DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This project focuses on a media-based strategy (i.e., television-type programming) for positively impacting parenting and child behavior in the general population. The strategy is guided by goals to use a minimally sufficient intervention in a non-stigmatizing context, working within a self-regulatory framework and building on interesting and engaging content. The intervention is based on theoretical and empirical foundations that include social learning models of parent-child interaction, social information processing, and developmental research applied to parenting in everyday contexts. Using a 12-episode infotainment-style television series on families and parenting based on an empirically validated system of interventions, the project involves two universal-intervention studies with parents of 2-8 year-old children in the general population. Both studies (one with single-parent, the other with two-parent households) are randomized experimental designs comparing the television parenting series to non-parenting-series-comparison and wait-list-control conditions. Outcome variables include parenting competence (reported and observed), parental confidence, child pro-social behavior, child behavior problems (reported and observed), child functioning outside the home, and parental conflict over parenting. Goals include: (1) determining the impact of the television parenting series on parents and their children; (2) comparing impact of the parenting series to that of a non-parenting child development series; (3) investigating program benefits as a function of initial level of child functioning; (4) evaluating consumer acceptability; and (5) exploring experimental effects of the media strategy as a function of racial group and general SES level. The methodology includes use of controlled randomized designs, stratified blocking, multi-modal multi-informant measures known to be sensitive to change including systematic observation of parent-child interaction, ATI analyses, and covariance analyses to control for initial levels of functioning. The project will contribute new knowledge about the impact and acceptability of universal television programming to enhance parenting and promote child development in the general population.

描述（由申请人提供）：该项目侧重于基于媒体的策略（即电视型编程），以积极影响一般人群的育儿和儿童行为。该策略的指导下是通过在非耻辱的环境中使用最低限制的干预，在自我调节框架内工作并建立有趣且引人入胜的内容的目标的指导。该干预措施基于理论和经验基础，其中包括在日常情况下应用于育儿的亲子互动，社会信息处理和发展研究的社会学习模型。该项目使用12集信息娱乐风格的电视系列和基于经验验证的干预系统的育儿系列，涉及一项普遍的干预研究，与一般人群中2-8岁儿童的父母进行了两项普遍的干预研究。这两项研究（一项具有单父母，另一项为两父母家庭）都是随机实验设计，将电视育儿系列与非父母育种系列相比，并进行了及格列表控制条件。结果变量包括育儿能力（报告和观察），父母的信心，儿童亲社会行为，儿童行为问题（报告和观察），在家外的儿童工作以及父母对育儿的冲突。目标包括：（1）确定电视育儿系列对父母及其子女的影响； （2）将育儿系列的影响与非父母儿童发展系列的影响进行比较； （3）调查计划的益处是儿童功能的初始水平； （4）评估消费者的可接受性； （5）探索媒体策略作为种族群体和一般SES水平的函数的实验效应。该方法包括使用受控的随机设计，分层的阻塞，已知对变化敏感的多模式多模式多模型措施，包括对亲子互动的系统观察，ATI分析以及协方差分析，以控制初始功能水平。该项目将为通用电视节目的影响和可接受性提供新的知识，以增强育儿和促进一般人群的儿童发展。
