Cauley, Roxanne (2015) Intervention Effects of 1-2-3 Magic and Emotion Coaching on Parental Stress, Emotion Socialisation and Child Behaviour Outcomes. Honours thesis, University of Southern Queensland. (Unpublished)
Abstract
The study investigated the effectiveness of the 1-2-3 Magic and Emotion Coaching (Hawton & Martin, 2011) brief parenting intervention by examining the effect of the program on child problematic or disruptive behaviour, parental adjustment including stress and depression, and parent emotion socialisation practices of emotion coaching and emotion dismissing. A convenience sample of parents and caregivers (n = 28) of children aged from 2 to 12 years displaying problematic behaviour were enlisted from the community. Parents were allocated into waitlist control and intervention groups based on location of the program they were attending. Participants attended three weekly 2-hour sessions of the 1-2-3 Magic and Emotion Coaching workshop, completing post-intention assessment and pre-intervention assessment six weeks after program completion. At post- intervention assessment parents and caregivers reported significant improvements in child problematic behaviour and parental stress compared to the waitlist control group. No other significant differences were identified. The study provides some support for the use of the 1-2-3 Magic and Emotion Coaching program as an effective intervention to be used in a community sample of parents experiencing problematic child behaviours. Continued research is required to examine the full effect of the program on identified variables using differing populations and longitudinal studies.
