Abstract

This study aims to examine the effectiveness of cognitive behavior group therapy for reducing anxiety in high school students who experience anxiety due to family problems . Researchers want to change the irrational belief of adolescents toward themselves and their families and teach effective coping techniques of problems. This research is important because high school students are in the development phase of the role of identity. If it fails to fulfill the task of development in this phase, then the individual will be confused with his identity. Hypothesis in this research is there is difference of high school student anxiety level in experiment group and control group after given cognitive-behavioral group therapy. Subjects in this study were 16 high school students grade X and XI male and female female aged 15-16 years and have family problems. Subjects were divided into experimental and control groups. The measurement tool used is Beck Anxiety Inventory Research using quasi experiment with non randomized pretest-posttest control group design. Data were analyzed using independent sample t-test. The results showed that there was difference of high school students' anxiety level in experimental group and control group after given cognitive-behavioral group therapy with p = 0,001 (p <0,05). In conclusion, cognitive-behavioral group therapy is effective to reduce anxiety in high school students who have family problems.
