Main Article Content
Abstract
The research aimed to know the effect of the guidance program using the self-control method in reducing projective identification among female students in the preparatory stage by verifying the validity of the following null hypotheses:
- There are no statistically significant differences at the level (0.05) between the scores of the experimental group in the pre- and post-tests on projective identification.
- There are no statistically significant differences at the level (0.05) between the scores of the control group in the pre- and post-tests on the projective identification scale.
- There are no statistically significant differences at the level (0.05) between the ranks of the scores of the experimental and control groups in the post-test on the projective identification scale.
The researchers built a scale of projective identification among middle school female students consisting of (20) items, and extracted the scale's construct validity and discriminatory power, in addition to apparent validity by presenting it to a number of arbitrators. As for stability, the test-retest method was used, and the Cronbach's alpha coefficient for internal consistency. The researchers used the self-control method to reduce projective identification. The number of sessions was (10) sessions, the duration of the session was (45) minutes, and it lasted for (5) weeks. In order to verify the validity of this program, it was presented to a group of experts specializing in psychological counseling, and they confirmed its validity in developing moral vigilance. The researcher reached the following results:
- There are statistically significant differences at the level (0.05) between the ranks of the experimental group's scores in the pre- and post-tests on the moral vigilance scale.
- There are no statistically significant differences at the level (0.05) between the ranks of the control group's scores in the pre- and post-tests on the moral vigilance scale. - There are statistically significant differences at the level of (0.05) between the ranks of the scores of the experimental and control groups in the post-test on the moral vigilance scale in favor of the experimental group. In light of these results, the researcher came up with a number of recommendations and proposals.
