Özet

The purpose of this study is to examine the effect of group counseling program based on Cognitive-Behavioral Approach on the rumination levels of adolescents. Solomon Quadruple Model was applied in the study. Accordingly, in the study two control and two experimental groups, each consisting of 12 members, were formed. Experimental groups were provided psychological counseling with a group based on cognitive-behavioral approach for 8 weeks. No treatment was given to the control groups. The Rumination Scale Short Form (RS) was used data collection instrument. In accordance with the Solomon Quadruple Model, just one experimental and control group were pretested, while other two were not. Post-test was applied to all four groups. One months after the sessions were completed, the follow up measure was again applied to all four groups. Statistical analyzes revealed that the experimental groups had a significant decrease in the degree of brooding and reflection, rumination and sub-dimensions of rumination. It was also found that the results were independent of Maturation x Time interaction and Pretest effect. There was no statistically significant difference in the control groups. Therefore, based on the results, it can be said that the group counseling program with cognitive-behavioral approach is effective in decreasing the brooding and reflection levels of the rumination and rumination sub-dimensions of the adolescents. The findings were discussed in the light of the related literature and suggestions were made in relation to the results of the research.
