Effects of Dilemma Stories on Preschool Children's Values and Social Problem-Solving Skills
Sponsor: Giresun University
Summary
This study examined the effects of the Dilemma Story-Based Social Skills Training Program (DSSTP) on social values acquisition and social problem-solving skills in preschool children. The study included 52 children aged 60-72 months in intervention and control groups. Children in the intervention group participated in a 12-week program that used stories involving dilemmas to encourage discussion of social situations, possible choices, and their consequences. Social problem-solving skills and social values acquisition were assessed using the Social Problem-Solving Skills Scale (SPSSS) and the Scale for the Acquisition of Social Values (SVAS). Assessments were conducted before and after the intervention. A follow-up assessment examined whether changes were maintained over time.
