The pretest-posttest quasi-experimental design was used in the study. The 12 fifth-grade single-parent children from Kaohsiung city were randomly assigned to either the experimental group or the control group. The experimental group had been received 15 unit-group activities, each unit for 60 minutes. The control group has been received nothing at all.
Both “Emotional Stability Scales” and “the child life beliefs scale” were used to conduct pretest, posttest, and follow-up measures. Wilcoxon-Mann-Whitney was used to study the differences between the students in the experimental group and those in the control group. In addition, members’ interviews, feedback sheets and records of the group sessions were also collected and analyzed.
Results of this study were summarized as following:
