Abstract

The study aimed to study the effectiveness of group counseling programs based on solution-focused brief therapy (SFBT) for the enhancement of adolescents’ emotional regulation of cyberbullying. The subjects in the experiment included sixteen adolescent students with a lower level of emotional regulation. A simple random sampling allocated eight participants to the experimental group and eight members to the control group. The research instruments consisted of 1) the emotional regulation scale with 40 items with a reliability coefficient of .89, and 2) a 6-session group counseling program based on solution-focused brief therapy. CVI = .90. Data were statistically analyzed by using percentage, mean, standard deviation, the Wilcoxon signed-rank test and the Mann-Whitney U. The findings were as follows: 1) Emotional regulation of the experimental group was significantly higher after the experiment and follow-up at a significance level of .05 2) Emotional regulation of the experimental group after the experiment was significantly higher than the control group’s at a significance level of .05, and 3) Emotional regulation of the experimental group after a follow-up was significantly higher than the control group’s at a significance level of .05.
