Abstract: (55 Views)
Objective: The aim of the present study was to compare the effectiveness of emotion focused therapy and logotherapy on the academic quality of life of adolescents.
Methods: The research method was quasi experimental with a pretest–posttest design including a control group. The statistical population consisted of all male high school students in the second level of secondary education in District 1 of Arak city during the 2024 academic year. From this population, 45 students were selected using a multistage cluster sampling method and randomly assigned to two experimental groups (15 participants in each group) and one control group (15 participants). The experimental groups received emotion focused therapy and logotherapy interventions in eight weekly sessions of 90 minutes each, while the control group received no intervention. The research instruments included the Risky Behaviors Questionnaire (Zadeh Mohammadi et al., 2011) and the Academic Quality of Life Questionnaire (Ainley & Bourke, 1992). Data were analyzed using repeated measures analysis of variance (ANOVA) in SPSS 22.
Results: The results showed that both interventions (emotion focused therapy and logotherapy) had a significant effect on academic quality of life. Additionally, the post hoc test results indicated that the mean scores of academic quality of life in the logotherapy group were significantly higher than those in the emotion focused therapy group (p < 0.05), indicating the greater effectiveness of logotherapy.
Conclusions: Based on the findings, it is suggested that school counselors use logotherapy as a central approach to strengthen psychological coherence and reduce cognitive and behavioral problems among adolescents.
