My topic: What is the relationship between counseling and anxiety among teenagers?
Requirements: 1 page
Answer preview
The research aims to investigate the relationship between counseling and anxiety among teenagers. The methodology to apply is a pre-test and post-test design. Both a quasi-experimental and a control group approach will be used to assess the impact of counseling on teenage anxiety. The population of teenagers is 500, whereby 315 are male, and 185 are female. From this demographic, only 300 participants will be taken as a sample for the study. The experimental group will be made up of 200 teenagers, while the control group will comprise 100 participants. An adapted version of the Beck Anxiety Scale will be used as a measure of the anxiety levels of the sampled teenagers (Hewitt and Norton, 2014). Also, a demographic form will be utilized to obtain detailed information about participants, such as their gender and year.
