The aim of this study is to clarify that assertiveness training on the subject of girls' high school students who are deposed to fall into depression has effect on decreasing depression level and promoting the degree and the substance of assertiveness.
The hypotheses of this study are as follows.
The first, after conducting the assertiveness training, there may be notable decreation in the depression degree of testing group compared with other 2 controlling group.
The second, after conducting the assertiveness degree of testing group compared with other 2 controlling groups.
The third, after conducting the assertiveness training, the substance of assertiveness of testing group may be improved from factual to affective expression.
The subjects of this study were 27 girls' high school students who marled high depression level.
They are divided into 3 groups; 9 in testing group, 8 in controlling group I and 10 in controlling group Ⅱ.
All of them went through depression tests, BDI and SDS and equanimity test for assertiveness prior to the main experiment.
The training program for assertiveness used in this study is based on Kim Sung Hoe's program for middle and high school students which was developed by Kim Sung Hoe to be appropriate for current situation of Korea.
I, the investigator, carried out this program to testing group for between 90 and 120 minutes in each time on alternate days after the classes.
it totalled 8 times.
The program let the controlling group I collectivized after school is over for between 90 and 120 minutes in same period but didn't take any measures for dealing with assertiveness training.
This group was just allowed autonomous activities and reciprocal actions between the groups.
I didn't take any steps to ?? group Ⅱ during experiment except for examining before and after experiment.
After assetiveness training was over, equanimity test for assertiveness and depression test, BDI and SDS was conducted as an ex post facto test to all groups for measuring the changes of depression level and assertiveness degree.
I got the conclusion as follows through the verification of the hypotheses as set before.
The first, after carrying out the experiment, BDI and SDS there is no statistically remarkable difference among 3 groups in depression degree.
Therefore the hypothesis I was not verified.
The second, after carrying out the experiment, statistically notable differences appear as the result of F verificaiton of the differences between the preliminary and the ex post facto mean value among 3 group in assertiveness degree.
The third, after carrying out the experiment, it is proved that the substance of assertiveness is promoted from factual to affective expression as experimental times grows in consequence of analysis.
I can learn it through the concrete analysis of the cause that this change is the outcome of role training used emphatically from the fifth training.
The hypothesis Ⅲ was verified as the result of this oucome.
I reached the conclusion as follows through above verification.
The first, even though the hypothesis I was not verified it was found that the testing group marked the biggest decreation gap of the depression degree in BDI and SDS compared with other 2 groups.
So I can learn the assertiveness training which conducted to testing group takes effects on decreasing depression degree.
The second, after carrying out the experiment, the range of improved assertiveness degree was the most in he testing group among 3 groups.
So, I can learn the assertiveness training which conducted to the testing group takes effects on promoting the ability of assertiveness.
The Third, after carrying out the experiment, it is proved the substance of assertiveness of the testing group was improved from factual to affective expression.
Therefore assertiveness training takes effects on promoting the substance of assertiveness qualitatively.
