A Study On Group Work Intervention In The Inter Personal Deviance Of Rural Left-behind Children

The healthy growth and development of children left behind in rural areas has always been of concern to society.Long-term separation of children from their parents can lead to impaired attachment,intergenerational education and poor supervision,which in turn may lead to deviance in learning,living and interaction,affecting children’s social adaptation.Interpersonal deviance is one of the deviances.Group work is one of the practical methods of social work and can be used to learn social skills.How to help rural left-behind children improve their interpersonal deviance through group work intervention deserves in-depth study.This study uses a rural left-behind children’s interpersonal learning group as a case,and three main types of interpersonal deviance of left-behind children were found: withdrawal deviance,cathartic deviance,and aggressive deviance.Combining the interview and observation data,the study found that the interpersonal deviance of left-behind children was influenced by the "role model" behavior model of the environment,the binding force and the individual’s interaction cognitive bias and low self-concept.The group was guided by social learning theory and social-ecological system theory,and used four intervention strategies: creating a supportive group environment,building a positive self-concept,learning to identify and express emotions,and modeling and behavioral learning to improve the interpersonal deviance of the group members.The group assessment results show that the group members’ interpersonal deviance has been improved to varying degrees,among which the change of withdrawal deviance is the most obvious,followed by cathartic deviance,and finally aggressive deviance.The study shows that group work intervention in interpersonal deviance of rural left-behind children have certain effect,but the scopes of intervention are limited and other environmental factors of left-behind children have not been involved,and further research is needed to consolidate the behavioral improvement effects.
