Abstract

Self-confidence is essential in adolescent development, particularly for social interactions, public speaking, and decision-making. Adolescents with low self-confidence often withdraw, feel anxious in social situations, and struggle with decisions. Previous research has linked self-confidence to both academic and social success. However, studies on effective psychological interventions to improve self-confidence in adolescents from low socioeconomic backgrounds remain scarce. This study focuses on a 19-year-old adolescent from an economically disadvantaged family. Despite academic potential and personal strengths, the subject experiences self-doubt and fear of self-expression. Person-centered therapy (PCT) was chosen as an appropriate intervention to enhance self-confidence. This research evaluates the effectiveness of PCT in promoting self-acceptance, positive self-perception, and confidence in social settings. Qualitative methods were employed to evaluate the effectiveness of the intervention. The findings indicate that PCT effectively boosts self-confidence, particularly through techniques such as unconditional positive regard. This supports the effectiveness of PCT in enhancing adolescent self-confidence and psychological well-being.

Abstract

Career decision-making is a crucial phase in adolescents’ lives, often marked by confusion and a lack of self-understanding. This study aims to explore the effectiveness of Person-Centered Therapy (PCT) in assisting high school students in identifying their interests, talents, and making appropriate career decisions. A qualitative case study approach was employed, focusing on a student, referred to as AD, who struggled with career decision-making despite strong academic performance. The intervention consisted of three individual counseling sessions based on the PCT approach, integrated with Gelatt’s five-step decision-making model. Data were collected through interviews, observations, and psychological assessments (graphic, cognitive, and interest tests). The findings revealed a significant improvement in self-awareness, understanding of personal interests, and AD’s self-confidence. Furthermore, the student’s career decision-making difficulty score decreased from a high to a low category. These results indicate that PCT is effective in fostering autonomy, clarifying self-identity, and facilitating more accurate career decisions. Although limited to a single participant, this study contributes to the development of more humanistic guidance strategies in school settings

Abstract

Talent and interest are important components that are interconnected in helping children develop, especially in achieving educational goals. Talent is an innate potential that needs to be trained and developed in a structured manner, while interest is an individual's tendency to focus on things they like. Lack of attention to children's talents and interests can hinder the development of their potential. In addition, lack of facilities and pressure from schoolwork are often the main obstacles. Psychoeducation is one of the effective interventions to help children and teachers recognize and develop children's talents and interests optimally. This community service activity was carried out at SDS Punna Karya, Curug, Tangerang, involving students in grades 1–6 and teachers as participants. This activity is intended to provide students with a new understanding of the importance of identifying their interests and talents to discover their potential, set goals, and stay motivated to learn. For one month (October 11 to November 2, 2023), this program was implemented with a qualitative approach through the psychoeducational method. The results of the community service showed that providing psychoeducation helped students understand their interests and talents, increased their motivation to learn, and encouraged them to be more confident in exploring their potential. In addition, support from the school, teachers, and the surrounding environment plays an important role in the success of developing children's talents and interests. By maximizing their potential, children are expected to be able to achieve optimal results in their education and life.
