Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
The efficacy of emotion-focused group therapy on negative emotions, self-criticism, and secure attachment in adolescent boys may lead to a reduction in negative emotions and self-criticism and an increase in secure attachment among adolescent boys. Timepoint: The effectiveness of emotion-focused group therapy on negative emotions, self-criticism, and secure attachment in adolescent boys was measured using dependent variables in a preliminary study (before the start of therapy) and at 2 months (after the completion of therapy), as well as 2 months after the completion of therapy (follow-up period). Method of measurement: The effectiveness of emotion-focused group therapy on the emotional anxiety, self-criticism, and secure attachment of adolescent boys can be measured using instruments such as the Positive and Negative Affect Schedule (PANAS) developed by Watson and colleagues, the Self-Criticism Questionnaire by Thompson and Zaroff, and the Hazan and Shaver Attachment Questionnaire.	—
