Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study aims to examine the effectiveness of a Psychoeducational-Developmental Support Program on adolescents' distress-eustress levels, relative deprivation, peer relationships, and basic psychological needs. The program will be implemented with high school students using a pre-test/post-test control group design. The 11-week intervention includes structured psychoeducational and developmental activities. Assessments of distress-eustress, relative deprivation, peer relations, and basic psychological needs will be conducted before and after the intervention. A follow-up test will be administered one month later. The program is expected to produce significant improvements in adolescents' psychological and social functioning.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This study investigates the effectiveness of an 11-week Psychoeducational-Developmental Support Program in reducing adolescents' distress-eustress levels and relative deprivation, while supporting peer relationship quality and the satisfaction of basic psychological needs. The program was developed based on a needs analysis conducted with teachers and incorporates structured psychoeducational content and developmental support activities tailored to adolescents.

The study employs a pre-test/post-test control group experimental design with high school students from three districts in Istanbul. The intervention group will receive weekly psychoeducational-developmental sessions, whereas the control group will receive no intervention. Measurements will include the Distress-Eustress Scale for Adolescents (Turkish Form), the Relative Deprivation Scale-Adolescent Form, the Peer Relations Scale, and the Basic Psychological Needs at School Scale. A retention assessment will be conducted one month after the intervention to evaluate the sustainability of the program's effects.

Data will be analyzed using the Mann-Whitney U test, the Wilcoxon Signed-Rank test, and effect size calculations (p \< .05). The program is expected to lead to meaningful and lasting improvements in adolescents' emotional and psychosocial well-being.
