Zahni University The Effects of Progressive Relaxation Training on Stress, Self Esteem, and the Tendency to Run Away in At-Risk Adolescent Girls

To investigate the effects of progressive relaxation training on stress, self esteem, and the tendency to run away, a cluster sample of 760 high school girls was randomly selected and then tested on the tendency to run away from home. The 56 individuals who scored above the threshold were identified as the at-risk sample and placed in two matched groups, one of which then went through a ten-session progressive relaxation training eourse. The post-training measures of stress, self- esteem, and tendency to run away indicated a significant positive impact of the training on the first two. The tendency to run away, although did decrease, however did not show a significant change as a result of the training.
