The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about the effects of a family conflict intervention in Chinese New Arrival families in Hong Kong.
The main questions it aims to answer are:
Participants will be randomly assigned to one of the two groups: the family conflict intervention group and the handcraft-making group. For each group, parents will participate in 3 sessions independently, children will participate in 2 sessions independently, and parents and children will jointly participate in 1 session. Each session takes around 2 hours, and it takes 4 weeks to complete the full intervention. The family conflict intervention sessions include an introduction to the occurrence of family conflicts, communication skills training to prevent and address conflicts, and role play to practice the skills, etc.
Researchers will compare the family conflict intervention group and the handcraft-making group to see if the family conflict intervention group is effective in promoting conflict resolution skills, reducing family conflicts, and enhancing family resilience.

| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Parent-child conflicts | Parent-child conflicts are measured by the frequency and intensity of parent-child conflicts (Yau & Smetana, 1996). Possible scores for conflict frequency range from 0 (not at all) to 4 (4 times or above). A higher score indicates a higher level of parent-child conflict frequency. Possible scores for conflict intensity range from 1 (none) to 5 (severe). A higher score indicates more severe parent-child conflicts. | Baseline, 4 weeks, 8 weeks |
| Parent-child conflict resolution | Parent-child conflict adaptive resolution strategy is measured by the subscale of the Parent-Child Conflict Response Strategy Scale (Sun, 2019). The four items are each rated on a five-point scale, which is from 1 (never) to 5 (always). A higher score indicates a higher level of adaptive parent-child conflict resolution. | Baseline, 4 weeks, 8 weeks |
| The Chinese version of the Rahim Organizational Conflict Inventory-II | Couple conflict and problem-solving will be measured by the subscale of the Chinese version of the Rahim Organizational Conflict Inventory-II (ROC-II; Rahim, 1983; Chang & Lu, 2007). The subscale includes 7 items. Each item is rated on a five-point scale. A higher score indicates a higher level of adaptive couple conflict resolution. | Baseline, 4 weeks, 8 weeks |
| Family Harmony Scale | Family Harmony will be measured by the Family Harmony Scale (Fabrizio et al., 2015). The scale includes 8 items. Each item is rated on a five-point scale. A higher score indicates a higher level of family harmony. | Baseline, 4 weeks, 8 weeks |
| Family Resilience Quetionnaire | Family Resilience will be measured by the Walsh Family Resilience Questionnaire (Walsh, 2015). We selected 9 representative questions from the original questionnaire for our study. Each item is rated on a five-point scale. A higher score indicates a higher level of family resilience. |
