- Abstract:
- Purpose : The purpose of this dissertation was to examine the effect of a Self-Science Curriculum on the emotional intelligence and adjustment to divorce of adolescents. While many advances have been made in the study of emotional development in children from divorced families, limited research currently exists on the effects of divorce on children’s emotional intelligence. Method : The sixteen participants were residents of the Florida United Methodist Children’s Home. The participants were randomly assigned to two groups, eight experimental and eight control. The participants completed the BarOn Emotional Quotient-Inventory: Youth version as a pretest and posttest, the Children’s Divorce adjustment Inventory as a posttest. The psycho-educational curriculum was offered for six consecutive weeks for one hour a week. While the experimental group underwent sessions, the participants in the control group continued to be involved in their daily activities in their cottages. Major Findings : The outcome of this study did not support the prediction that a psycho-educational group based on emotional intelligence concepts would have a positive effect on the emotional intelligence and adjustment of the children of divorce. There were no significant differences between the experimental and the control groups in overall emotional intelligence or adjustment to divorce.
