摘要
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of quality of life therapy on subjective well-being of male adolescents. The sample consisted of 20 male adolescents with low levels of subjective well-being, selected by random cluster sampling. Adolescents were randomly allocated to an experimental and control group. Adolescents in experimental group participated in eight QoLT group sessions. Two groups in pre, post, and follow up assessment completed subjective well-being questionnaire. Data were analysed using analysis of covariance and descriptive statistics. Results showed significant difference on subjective well-being scores between two groups (p<0.05) in post and follow up assessment. (C) 2011 Published by Elsevier Ltd.
