Abstract

This study aimed to explore the effectiveness of narrative counseling in enhancing the meaningfulness of life among high school and vocational students in Baubau City, Southeast Sulawesi Province. A quasi-experimental approach with a one-group pretest-posttest design was employed. The participants included 173 students who completed the Meaningfulness of Life Scale and 32 school counselor who had undergone narrative counseling capacity-building training. Through purposive random sampling, 34 school counselor were divided equally into experimental and control groups, with each group comprising 17 school counselor. Each teacher provided narrative counseling to 17 students identified with low to moderately low levels of meaningfulness in life. Narrative counseling sessions were conducted over 3 to 4 sessions by school counselor. The meaningfulness of students' lives was assessed through six indicators: self-understanding, positive attitude change, life purpose, strong commitment, self-direction, and effective social support seeking. Results indicated significant improvements across these indicators. Initially categorized predominantly as low, five indicators improved significantly to fairly high levels, while one indicator reached a moderate category post-intervention. The statistical analysis using the Wilcoxon test yielded a significance value of 0.01 (p < 0.05), confirming a statistically significant difference between pre- and post-intervention outcomes. The Asym.sig (2-tailed) result also confirmed this significance with a value of 0.01. These findings demonstrate the effectiveness of narrative counseling in enhancing students' meaningfulness of life. Consequently, narrative counseling is validated as a valuable strategy for empowering students in high school and vocational settings, significantly fostering their sense of purpose and life direction.

Abstract

This literature review explores the interplay of strengths, positive emotions, and critical thinking within the counseling practice. This literature review used a methodical approach that included a thorough search strategy in order to find and choose peer-reviewed journal articles published within the last ten years that focused on the interaction between strengths, positive emotions,and critical thinking in the counseling practice. Guided by a strengths-based approach, the review investigates how fostering positive emotions, including as appreciation, pleasure, and hope, might assist the discovery and application of client strengths.This review focused on empirical research articles, including quantitative, qualitative, and mixed-methods studies, that specifically examined the interaction between the three core constructs within the counseling context, excluding dissertations, theses, and studies focusing solely on one construct, while employing a systematic data extraction process with inter-rater reliability checks, followed by rigorous thematic analysis of the collected data.The review also explores the critical thinking abilities that are most important for enhancing the effectiveness of strengths-based therapies, including analysis, evaluation, and problem-solving.The review concludes by examining methods for incorporating critical thinking into the counseling process, such as Socratic questioning, reflective exercises, and cooperative goal planning. The results point to a synergistic interaction between critical thinking, positive emotions, and strengths that has a great deal of potential to improve client outcomes. The review does, however, also stress the significance of a well-rounded strategy that recognizes and deals with both happy and negative emotions during the counseling process.
