Interactive Rituals: Empirical Research and Mechanism Analysis of Drama Therapy Intervention for Adolescent Depression
Abstract
The detection rate of depression in the adolescent population is approximately 14.8%, with a lifetime prevalence rate as high as 17.1%. Drama therapy is a comprehensive art therapy form. Relevant studies have shown that drama therapy can enhance self-efficacy, improve the sense of social support, and has unique advantages in emotional healing and health intervention. Based on this, the author used drama therapy to intervene with a group of adolescents with mild depressive symptoms, documenting changes in their depressive emotions, self-efficacy, and sense of social support. This article attempts to discuss: Does drama therapy have a positive impact on adolescent depression? Through what mechanism is this influence achieved? Do self-efficacy and social support play a mediating role in this mechanism?
