TY - JOUR PY - 2020// TI - Effects of a psychological management program on subjective happiness, anger control ability, and gratitude among late adolescent males in Korea JO - International journal of environmental research and public health A1 - Hong, Ju Eun A1 - Kim, Miok SP - e2683 EP - e2683 VL - 17 IS - 8 N2 - This study aimed to develop an emotion management program for late adolescent males, and investigate the effect of the program. This study is an experimental study using a pretest-posttest control group design. It was conducted from 14 May to 21 December, 2018 at a male high school in Korea. It analyzed 52 participants (26 in the experimental group and 26 in the control group.) Regarding subjective happiness, there was a significant difference between groups (t = 3.409, p = 0.001). In anger control ability and gratitude, there was no significant difference between groups (t = 0.332, p = 0.740/ z = 0.528, p = 0.599). This program for emotion management, which is based on the broaden-and-build theory, can improve subjective happiness, anger control ability, and gratitude, by reinforcing appreciation skills and anger awareness and self-expression in male high school students.
