Abstract:
Objective:To investigate the effects of group counseling based on acceptance and commitment therapy and music therapy on the self-esteem of impoverished undergraduates.
Methods:Through a selective procedure of publicizing, recruiting and interviewing, 48 impoverished undergraduates were randomly assigned to the experimental group (n=24) and the control group(n=24). Experimental group received group counseling based on acceptance and commitment therapy and music therapy, while the control group received no intervention, the control group will receive intervention next term. All of the participants completed the Self-Esteem Scale(SES), the Perceived Social Support Scale(PSSS), the Self-Consistency and Congruence Scale(SCCS) , and Simplified Coping Style Questionnaire (SCSQ) before and after intervention.
Results:After intervention, the average scores of SES, SCCS,and PSSS in the experimental group (35.29±4.29, 102.13±8.30, 67.54±6.81) significantly increased(28.76±3.98, 92.34±6.35, 56.00±8.59)(t=9.31, 5.21, 7.15, P<0.05). While there were no statistical changes in SES, SCCS, and PSSS scores in the control group after intervention(t=1.15, 0.07, 1.59, P>0.05).
Conclusion:Group counseling based on the acceptance and commitment therapy and music therapy is effective on improving the self-esteem, self-consistency and congruence, and perceived social support in impoverished undergraduates.
