Special Topic Meeting: The Science of Rejection and the Art of Acceptance: Using a Documentary Film and Classroom Intervention to Change Hearts and Minds

Abstract:

Peer relation problems create concurrent and future risks for young children. Interventions for children who are rejected typically involve providing training in social skills and/or emotion regulation for the rejected child. However, some children are rejected not because of their behavior (e.g., aggression), but because they are perceived by peers to be â€œdifferentâ€, for example because they are obese or are in the ethnic minority within their class.

We propose that intervention should be for all children (and teachers); that all children in the class will benefit from character development programs that teach and reinforce tolerance, acceptance, and inclusion of others.
