Abstract

This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of human potential seminar-grouptherapy on the moral judgemental ability of juvenile delinquents, and to provide a foundation for effective intervention in juvenile delinquents. The subjects consisted of thirty-two juvenile delinquents referred from Probation in Gyounggi province. Data were collected through Rest's Defining Issues Test from June, 1995 to June, 1997. The intervention of human potential seminargiouptherapy to the subjects was conducted 40 hours for 5 days and 10 hours' follow-up program. The grouptherapy included watching videos and lecture on drugs, personal unfoldment, peak experience, speaking of past experiences of misbehavior, acknowledging personal strengths, recognizing those situations producing anger, remember those who have loved participants, planning for behavioral modification, making a time capsule, and candle ceremony. The level of moral judgemental ability of the subjects was measured before and after the intervention. The data were analyzed using percent and paired t-test. The results revealed that the mean P(%) score of the subjects was 28.00± 13.45 and there was no significant difference between preand post grouptherapy. In the light of our findings, further study is needed to examine the grouptherapy effects with larger samples and longer study periods. Also, this study suggests that more effective and systematic education program is needed to improve moral judgemental ability of juvenile delinquents.
