Abstract : Universiti Pendidikan Sultan Idris |
The objective of the study is to measure the effect of emotional competency module training on the emotional intelligence and automatic negative thoughts. A quasi-experiment with a pre and post-test design and a control group is used where 58 participants were chosen using convenience sampling; 32 in the experimental group and 26 in the control group. Findings showed that there was a significant difference between the pre and post-test of the experiment group for both overall emotional intelligence scores and automatic negative thoughts. The emotional intelligence post-test scores indicated that the experimental group (M = 2.98, SD = 0.43) scored significantly higher than the control group (M = 2.20, SD = 0.58), t(56) = 5.87, p < .05. Additionally, there is a significant difference in the emotional intelligence scores between the pre-test (M =2.36, SD = 0.35) and post-test (M = 2.98, SD = 0.43), t(31) = -6.02, p = 0.00 scores of the experimental group. An independent-samples t-test indicated that there was no statistical significance between the experimental group (M = 40.94, SD = 18.27) and the control group (M = 47.04, SD = 13.86), t (56) = -1.41, p > .05 in the post-test automatic negative thoughts scores. However, the automatic negative thoughts scores between the pre-test (M = 50.88, SD = 0.35) and post-test (M = 40.94, SD = 18.27) of the experimental group was significant (t(31) = 3.024, p = 0.01). Overall, the results suggest that the Emotional Competency Module was not only effective in enhancing the emotional intelligence for the secondary school students but also succeeded in reducing the automatic negative thoughts by the participants. The module shows potential to improve the usual practices by counsellors, psychologists, and psychiatrists to help with their treatment or intervention strategies in enhancing adolescent’s emotional competence and automatic negative thoughts. |
