Abstract

Adolescent flourishing is an important indicator of positive mental health, yet school counseling research has more often focused on reducing symptoms than on strengthening positive functioning. This pre-experimental study examined changes in low-flourishing severity after Cognitive Behavior Therapy-based individual counseling using cognitive restructuring. Sixty-six grade XI students were screened, and seven students identified as having low flourishing participated in a one-group pretest-posttest intervention consisting of four individual counseling meetings. Questionnaire and structured observation data were summarized descriptively, and paired pretest-posttest scores were evaluated with the Wilcoxon signed-rank test. The mean low-flourishing severity score declined from 123.1 at pretest to 85.4 at posttest, representing a descriptive reduction of approximately 30.6%. All participants moved from high or very high severity categories at pretest to medium or low categories at posttest. The retained statistical output reported Z = -2.731 with an asymptotic significance displayed as 0.000 (conventionally reported as p < .001), although an exact p value could not be verified from the available paired data. These findings provide preliminary evidence that cognitive restructuring delivered through individual counseling was associated with improved flourishing-related functioning. Because the study involved only seven participants and no control group, the results should not be interpreted as definitive causal evidence.
