The study sample are the 6-grade students from Chia-Shi elementary school in Hsin Chu city,the total 28 students are assigned evenly to an experimental group(including 7 boys and 7 girls)and a controlled group(including 7 boys and 7 girls). This study used an equal-group experimental design .The experimental group members participated in 10 sessions of the peer mediation program for 3 months The total amount of training time is 400 minutes.In contrast,the controlled group members joined regular activities.Later,the members from these two groups took the same test about ''mediation skills'' and''the ability to apply mediation skills''.Besides,there are 5 instruments,namely''Mediation Skills Total Recall Measure'',''Social Conflict Scenario Measure'',''Students Opinion Questionnaire'',''Teachers Opinion Questionnaire'',''Mediation Report''.The approach of the two-way covariance analysis was used to measure the effects of the experiments. Here are the main points in this study: 1.The experimental group members showed significant effects of improved mediation skills,that is,the experimental group members had much more achievements in the mediation skills than the controlled group members. 2.The mediation ability of the male and the female is obviously different from each other.In other words,girls'' ability to apply mediation skills is much better than boys'',which is proved by the scores of the tests. 3.The interaction between different genders and different groups showed significant effects in the ability to apply mediation skills. 4.The peer mediation program didn''t show significant effects in the ability to apply mediation skills. 5.Both the experimental group members and the school teachers liked the peer mediation program and approve its effects. 6.Besides the admirable proportion of the successful mediation in dealing with social conflicts,the experimental group members reached a high level of mediation skills. According to the main points,here are some suggestions as reference: 1.To extended the peer mediation program since it has good effects. 2.To increase the teaching hours. 3.To have both boys and girls in the program. 4.To go with environmental decoration. 5.To attempt class teaching. 6.To examine the number of the times,the style and the improvement in mediating confict successfully. 7.To research delayed effect. 8.To give suggestions for the future studys.
