Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: This study will employ a multiple-gate screening procedure to identify 144 teacher-child dyads. All children from ages 8 to 12 (grades 5, 6, 7) years attending the 62 participating schools will be included in this procedure and screened. Step 1 inclusion: all children with (sub)clinical levels of conduct problems will be identified; Step 2 inclusion: teachers who report a conflictuous relationship with all of the children in their class who were identified in step 1 will be selected; Step 3 inclusion: When more than 1 conflictuous teacher-child dyad is identified within one class, one dyad will be randomly selected; Step 4 inclusion: Finally, schools will be included when they have at least two conflictuous teacher-child dyads. If a participating school has two or three dyads, two dyads will be randomly selected to participate. If a participating school has more than four dyads, four dyads will be randomly selected to participate in the study.
