This study investigated the effects of a highly interactive, online cognitive-behavioral youth coping program: Children of Divorce-Coping with Divorce (CoD-CoD; Boring et al., 2015) on children exposed to high levels of interparental conflict (IPC). A multiple-baseline experimental design (N = 9) evaluated within-subject intervention effects on change in daily positive and negative affect before, during, and after the intervention (n = 462). Participants were youth ages 11-16 who reported high exposure to IPC and whose parents had filed for divorce or parenting plan determinations in the prior year. A significant interaction effect indicated change in positive affect, but not negative affect, between the intervention and baseline phases. Positive affect linearly decreased during the baseline phase and flattened during the intervention phase. Results indicate that CoD-CoD was effective in interrupting a decline in youth-reported positive affect in a high-IPC sample, which may indicate a buffering effect against depression. Critical future directions include conducting large-scale randomized trials with children from high-IPC families to assess for whom the program is effective and assess long-term effects across a broad range of important outcomes.
“离婚子女应对离婚”（CoD - CoD；博林等人，2015年）对暴露于高水平父母间冲突（IPC）的儿童的影响。一个多基线实验设计（N = 9）评估了干预前、干预期间和干预后受试者内部干预对每日积极和消极情绪变化的影响（n = 462）。参与者为11 - 16岁的青少年，他们报告称暴露于高水平的父母间冲突，且其父母在前一年已提交离婚申请或育儿计划裁定。一个显著的交互效应表明干预阶段和基线阶段之间积极情绪有变化，但消极情绪没有变化。积极情绪在基线阶段呈线性下降，在干预阶段趋于平稳。结果表明，CoD - CoD有效地阻止了高IPC样本中青少年报告的积极情绪下降，这可能表明对抑郁症有缓冲作用。未来的关键方向包括对来自高IPC家庭的儿童进行大规模随机试验，以评估该项目对哪些人有效，并评估在广泛的重要结果方面的长期影响。
