THE EFFECT OF FEMINIST COUNSELING IN REDUCING EGO DEPLETION AMONG UNIVERSITY STUDENTS

Abstract

      This research aims to identify the effect of women's counseling in reducing ego depletion among university students.   In order to achieve this goal, the following zero hypotheses were formulated: (There are no statistically significant differences between the average ranks of ego depletion degrees among the experimental group members who are exposed to women's counseling and the average ranks of ego depletion degrees among the control group members in the post-measurement). In order to achieve the research procedures, the researchers chose a sample of (20) university students who were chosen by the intentional method, who have a high degree of ego depletion, and they were distributed equally into two groups (experimental and control).The women's counseling program consisting of (18) counseling sessions, two sessions per week, was applied to the experimental group only. To test the validity of the null hypothesis, the researchers used the Mann-Whitney test. The result came by rejecting the null hypothesis and accepting the alternative hypothesis, i.e. there are statistically significant differences between the mean scores of the experimental group (women's counseling) and the ranks of the control group members in the post-test on the ego depletion scale, and in favor of the experimental group members after applying the program, and the researchers recommended several recommendations concerned authorities and made a number of proposals.
