Abstract EN

This study aims at knowing the effectiveness of a Reality Therapy Counselling Program to Develop Internal Controls among Secondary School Students.

The sample consisted of 39 students males and females from the 10th grade, randomly selected and divided into four groups, two experimental groups consisting of 9 males 10 females, and control groups consisting of 10 males and 10 females.

The researcher followed the quasi- experimental method.

Before starting the guidance sessions, the researcher implemented the Locus of Control scale by Julian Rotter, the guidance program consisted of 12 sessions, two sessions per week over a period of six weeks.

After the sessions were completed, the scale was applied to the experimental and control groups to determine the effect of the program on the development of the Locus of Control, then it was re-implemented (follow- up measurement) on experimental group.

The results indicated the effectiveness of the guidance program in the development of the internal locus of control, and the absence of statistically significant differences between the post- measurement and the follow-up measurement of the experimental group, indicating the group's retention of the concepts of selection theory and reality therapy which they acquired in the program.

The researcher suggested re- conducting the study on teachers with external control to know the effectiveness of the method of reality therapy in the development of internal controls and the impact on their relationship with students, and activating the role of psychologist in boys and girls schools to make group guidance programs to prevent the expected problems.
