| Summary: | <p><strong>Objective.</strong> The present study aims to investigate the effectiveness of motivational interviewing in enhancing resilience, sense of purpose, and social interest among adolescent girls in middle school (ages 13–14).<strong> Methods. </strong>This study employed a quasi-experimental design with a pre-test/post-test and a control group. The tools used in this study included the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale, Crumbaugh and Maholick’s Purpose in Life Test, and Crandell’s Social Interest Scale. Data analysis was performed using multivariate analysis of covariance (MANCOVA).<strong> Results. </strong>The findings suggest that motivational interviewing significantly enhances adolescent girls' sense of purpose during the intervention phase (ηp² = 0,473) and follow-up phase (ηp² = 0,378). It also improves their resilience during the intervention phase (ηp² = 0,247) and follow-up phase (ηp² = 0,205). Furthermore, motivational interviewing is effective in increasing adolescent girls' social interest during the intervention phase (ηp² = 0,203) and follow-up phase (ηp² = 0,109).<strong> Conclusions. </strong>Overall, motivational interviewing can strengthen adolescents' resilience against challenges, foster a sense of purpose, and serve as a foundation for social interest, increased empathy, and greater social participation.</p> |
