Effect of a Psychoeducational-Developmental Support Program on Adolescents' Relative Deprivation, Distress Levels, Peer Relations and Basic Psychological Needs
Sponsor: Aziz Küçükkelepçe
Summary
This study evaluated the effectiveness of a Psychoeducational-Developmental Support Program on adolescents' relative deprivation, distress-eustress levels, peer relationships, and basic psychological needs. The study employed a non-randomized, pretest-posttest quasi-experimental design with a control group. A total of 52 ninth-grade students aged 14-15 years from two high schools in Çekmeköy, Istanbul, Türkiye, participated in the study. The intervention group consisted of 26 students, and the control group consisted of 26 students. The intervention group received an 11-session Psychoeducational-Developmental Support Program, while the control group received no study-specific intervention. Both groups completed pretest and posttest assessments. A follow-up assessment was administered only to the intervention group approximately one month after the intervention to evaluate the maintenance of program effects.
