This investigation evaluated the effect of board games employed in a strengthbased group for young people with interpersonal problems and discovered the difference in immediate and long-term effects. This study recruited middle school students from the south part of Taiwan; the experimental group and control group comprised seven students each. The groups completed the Teenager Strength- Based Scale Rating and Interpersonal Relationship Scale Rating before and after the 8-week investigation. Analysis of covariance and the Mann–Whitney U Test were used to analyze the collected data. In addition, to obtain back-up information, interviews were conducted and recorded before and after experiment, group observation records were made, and the participants offered their reflections. The results were as follows: 1. Incorporating board games into a strength-based group to improve teenagers’strengths had an immediate counselling effect but not a long-term counselling effect. 2. Incorporating the use of board games into a strength-based group for teenagers with interpersonal challenges had an immediate counselling effect but not a long-term counselling effect. The feedback provided by the group revealed that the teenagers were willing to participate actively and change themselves. In general, they had positive feelings toward their group. Counselors can use board games in interpersonal group counseling, give space for teenagers with interpersonal challenges to exert their strengths, and clarify the structural circumstances faced by teenagers with interpersonal challenges. |
