ABSTRACT

The present study aimed to examine the effects of a linguistic-social-skill-improvement program and a merit-improvement-focused program and a merit-improvement-focused program on the psychological wellbeing and interpersonal relations of adolescents from broken family. For this purpose were two quantitative studies and one qualitative case study conducted. Five adolescents (three boys and two girls with mean age of 13 years) from broken family participated across all three studies. In Study 1, a linguistic-social-skill-improvement program was exercised six times over 35 days. In order to test the effects of the program on the participants, their self-esteem, social support, and interpersonal relations were measured three times: before, right after, and one month after practice of the program. In Study 2, a merit-improvement-focused program was exercised six times over 25 days. In order to test the effects of the program on the participants, their happiness, experienced positive and negative emotion, and sociability were measured three times in a way similar to Study 1. Results indicated that both of the programs were useful in improving those adolescents' psychological wellbeing and interpersonal relations. These findings were discussed in relation to social and developmental contexts of the adolescent participants.
