Improving Students' Self-esteem With an Online Intervention

Improving Students' Self-esteem With an Online Intervention Based on the Fennel Model: An Open-label, Uncontrolled Pilot Trial

The aim of this study is to measure the impact of an online intervention on students' self-esteem, using the model outlined by Melanie Fennell.

The purpose of this study is to test the level of students' self-esteem (explicit and implicit) before and after an online intervention. All selected participants will enjoy one of the online working groups led by a psychologist for five weeks. In these group sessions, students will be trained to identify how their low self-esteem was developed, what are those factors that maintain their low self-esteem and what can they do for improving their low self-esteem, using Fennell model.
