Phenomenological Approaches to Adolescent Girls’ Perceptions of Storywriting-based Design Thinking Focused on Aggression by Zahra Abolhassani

“…Data analysis was done using Colaizzi’s 7-step method. Data validation was done through strategies such as reviewing interviewee transcripts, coding, and review by educational science experts.Results: The findings of the interviews revealed three main axes: factors influencing aggression including emotions (such as hatred, jealousy, grudge, and low self-esteem) and social interactions (negative human behaviors towards others and negative behaviors in discussions and conversations); ways of controlling and managing aggression including practical techniques and sub-themes (thinking-based techniques, social interaction-based techniques, action-based techniques); and the curriculum learned from design thinking including cognitive aspects (creativity, decision-making, re-creation) and communication processes (consultation, interaction, empathy).Conclusion: The results of the present study will provide psychologists and educators with a new perspective to prevent or reduce aggressive behaviors in educational environments. …”
