Abstract

The purposes of study were 1) to study the effects of positive psychology group intervention to well-being and social adjustment, and 2) to study the psychological experience of secondary boarding after attending positive psychology group intervention. The samples and key informants were 64 secondary students in boarding school who voluntarily participated in positive psychology group intervention for 12 hours. The quantitative results have shown that the students who attended positive psychology group intervention had higher levels of well-being and social adjustment in post and follow up phase of experiment if compared to those of pre phase of experiment with low effect size. While the qualitative results supported the quantitative phase that well-being was emerged from being able to share distress and experiences from peers which facilitated self-esteem and inner beauty of life. In addition, social adjustment was emerged from being able to interact with new friends and feeling closer relationship with their peers. The results from this study contribute to fulfill the gap of knowledge how to apply positive psychology intervention in group instead of individual intervention especially among teenage students to facilitate psychological and social growth.
