4-H Night at the Movies: a program for adolescents and their families.
"4-H Night at the Movies," a program to enhance self-esteem in adolescents, is discussed and evaluated. The program uses commercial videotapes of movies about teenagers to enhance adolescents' interest and understanding of their world, and outlines a discussion group format to supplement the videotape. A pretest-posttest design was used to evaluate the program's effect on adolescent participants' self-esteem utilizing the Tennessee Self-Concept Scale. The findings were that participants significantly increased total Self-Concept, Self-Satisfaction, Family Self, and Social Self over the course of the program.
