ABSTRACT

The purpose of this study is to measure the effect of Happiness Enhancement Group Counseling(HEGC) on the Happiness, Depression and Anxiety of Christian Adolescents. Findings of the study were as follows: First, the result of homogeneity test between the experimental and the control group came to be happiness(ρ=.224), depression(ρ=.152) and anxiety(ρ=.221). This result showed that there were no statistically significant differences in happiness, depression, and anxiety scores. Second, as a result of data analysis from the pre- and post- test, there were some significant differences in the mean scores between the control group and the experimental group, the average the mean scores of happiness(pre M=23.110-post M=28.200), depression(pre M=40.762-post M=35.801) and anxiety((pre M=25.825 -post M=20.231) of the experimental group is proved to be relatively higher than the average of happiness(pre M=24.100 -post M=23.910), depression(pre M=38.632-post M=37.921) and anxiety((pre M=27.321 –post M=28.121) of the control group. While the significance level of the control group is proved to be meaningless, the significance level of the experimental group is proved to be p<.01, showing statistically significant differences. These findings imply that there is much potentiality in the HEGC for the restoration and healing Christian Adolescents with Happiness, Depression and Anxiety.
