The current study was conducted to investigate the effect of a training program based on third party intervention strategies for resolving conflicts on developing English majors’ social perspective taking skills. The participants of the study included (47) of third year English section students at Faculty of Education, Fayoum University who were trained in third party intervention strategies for resolving conflict. The participants’ social perspective taking skills were pre- and post-tested using a perspective taking scale that was designed and administered by the researcher. Findings showed that there was a statistically significant difference between the mean scores of the participants in the pre and post administrations of the social perspective taking scale in favor of the post administration, which proves the effectiveness of the training program in this regard. In the light of the results, the study presented some recommendations. The most important of which are designing training sessions, taking into consideration, the students being trained in terms of their age, life experiences, the nature of conflict and the duration of the training. In addition, a number of topics were suggested for further research.
