Review

This study investigates the impact of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) based group counseling on the dating behavior of Gen Z students at SMAN 18 Medan. The topic is highly relevant, addressing a critical aspect of adolescent development and well-being within a contemporary context. The research aims to contribute to understanding effective interventions for shaping healthy interpersonal behaviors among youth, utilizing a recognized and evidence-based therapeutic approach. The clear objective and the application of a quantitative method with a pre-test post-test design provide a structured framework for evaluating the intervention's immediate effects. While the study presents a clear objective and a relevant intervention, several methodological aspects warrant consideration. The research employs a Quasi-Experimental design with a one-group pre-test post-test approach, which, while useful for initial exploration, is susceptible to threats to internal validity, such as maturation or historical events. A more robust design incorporating a control group would significantly strengthen the causal inferences. Furthermore, the sample size of only six students is extremely small, severely limiting the generalizability of the findings to the broader Gen Z population or even other students within the same school. Details regarding the psychometric properties (validity and reliability) of the "skala perilaku pacaran" instrument are also not provided in the abstract, which is crucial for assessing the quality and trustworthiness of the data collected. Despite these limitations, the study's conclusion that CBT group counseling significantly influences dating behavior among the participating students is noteworthy, suggesting a potential positive impact. The significant difference observed between pre-test and post-test scores (mean 173.33 to 95.66) and the reported Wilcoxon test results indicate a positive shift in behavior. This finding has practical implications for school counselors and mental health professionals working with adolescents. Future research would benefit immensely from replicating this study with a larger and more diverse sample, incorporating a control group, and potentially extending the follow-up period to assess the long-term sustainability of the behavioral changes. Exploring the specific components of CBT that were most effective could also provide deeper insights.
