The Effectiveness of a Narrative Program Using Plotagon Studio Application in Improving Life Styles of First Year Intermediate Students

Abstract

The study aimed to construct a narrative program using the Plotagon Studio application to improve life styles and determine its effectiveness on first year intermediate students. Life styles are defined as the individual's pattern or unique personal style in thinking, emotion, and behavior, which revolves around their life goal. Adler divided them into three abnormal styles (dependent style, dominant style, avoidant style) and one normal style (cooperative style) (R. B. Adler, Rodman, & Sévigny, 2006). The researcher adopted a quasi-experimental approach and depended on ADDIE model in constructing the program, where its validity and reliability were ensured. Moreover, the researcher constructed the study tool, which is a life styles scale of (60) items. The study results confirmed the effectiveness of the narrative program in improving life styles among first year intermediate students. The researcher introduced a number of recommendations and suggestions.
