Abstract

This study aims to examine the effect of psychodrama on the level of assertiveness in neglected and abused adolescents. The population of the study consisted of 21 adolescents and the sample consisted of 13 volunteer adolescents between the ages of 14-18, determined by purposeful sampling technique. The study was conducted between March - May 2017 in child support centers. Psychodrama sessions lasted twice a week for 9 weeks, each session for 3 hours; a total of 18 sessions of psychodrama were conducted. Measurements were carried out before and after psychodrama practice as pre and post-tests. Rathus Assertiveness Schedule (RAS) was used as a data collection tool. After psychodrama, the assertiveness scores of adolescents increased compared to before psychodrama.Psychodrama is an effective method to increase the assertiveness levels of adolescents.

Özet

Bu araştırma, İhmal Edilen ve İstismara Uğrayan Ergenlerde psikodramanın atılganlık düzeyine etkisini incelemeyi amaçlamaktadır. Araştırma, Mart - Mayıs 2017 tarihleri arasında çocuk destekleme merkezlerinde gerçekleştirildi. Psikodrama seansları haftada iki kez 9 hafta, her seans 3 saat; toplam 18 seans psikodrama yapıldı. Psikodrama uygulaması öncesi ve sonrası ölçümler ön ve son test olarak yapıldı. Veri toplama aracı olarak Rathus Atılganlık Envanteri (RAE) kullanıldı. Psikodrama sonrası ergenlerin atılganlık puanları psikodrama öncesine göre yükseldiği görüldü. Psikodrama, ergenlerin atılganlık düzeylerini artırmada etkili bir yöntemdir.
