The Effectiveness of Group Counseling Using Dance Therapy Techniques to Improve Self-Regulation
Downloads
This study aims to identify and describe respondents' levels of self-regulation before and after the intervention, as well as to examine the implementation of group counseling services using dance therapy techniques to improve self-regulation. Specifically, the study seeks to evaluate the effectiveness of these services and techniques in enhancing self-regulation among participants aged 18–29 years who exhibit low levels of self-regulation. This study employed a quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental, nonequivalent control group design involving pretest and posttest measurements. The research was conducted in Yogyakarta from October 2025 to March 2026 and involved 20 participants aged 18–29 years with low levels of self-regulation, who were assigned to experimental and control groups. Participants were selected using a nonprobability purposive sampling technique. Data were collected through observation and a self-regulation scale assessed for content validity through expert judgment. Five items were excluded following validity testing (p ? 0.05), and the instrument demonstrated high internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha = 0.897). Data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistical methods, including nonparametric tests. The Wilcoxon signed-rank test was used to examine within-group differences, while the Mann–Whitney U test was employed to assess between-group differences. The results indicated a statistically significant difference between pretest and posttest scores in the control group, as demonstrated by the Wilcoxon signed-rank test (p = 0.046), although the magnitude of the observed change was relatively small.
