摘要:Objective: This study investigated the effects of a logotherapy group-counseling progrm on levels of life purpose, self-esteem, and school adjustment among middle school students. Methods: The participants were 32 Korean middle school male students recruited from two middle schools in Andong, Gyeongsangbuk-do Province. They voluntarily participated in this program and were randomly assigned to the experimental group (n = 8) or the control group (n = 8) in each school. Thus, the number of participants of each group was 16. The experimental group counseling sessions occurred twice weekly for 4 weeks, and each session lasted 50 min. No treatment was offered to the control group. Results: First, as hypothesized, the logotherapy group-counseling program had significant effects on the life purpose of adolescents. Second, the program had a positive effect on improving self-esteem. The level of self-esteem in the experimental group was much higher than in the control group and was statistically significant. Third, the program had a significant effect on school adjustment. Conclusion: These results show that this logotherapy group-counseling program has very positive effects on life purpose, self-esteem, and school adjustment among Korean middle school male students.
