Purpose: The purpose of this study is to survey on the influence of the laughing program on elementary school students’ self-esteem and stress coping behaviors.
Methods: In total, 43 children (grade 4~6 students) were recruited for self administered questionnaire. Questionnaire was composed of general characteristics, self-esteem, and stress coping behaviors. Ten week course of laughing program was scheduled to the Experimental group, meanwhile no program was given to the control group.
Results: The median self-esteem scores in the experimental group was increased from 30.05 to 34 (Z=-2.375, p<.05). Meanwhile control group did not show significant change. The median inactive/avoidant coping scores in the experimental group was decreased from 10 to 9 (Z=-2.028, p<.05). Meanwhile control group did not show significant change in any items of stress coping behaviors.
Conclusion: Laughing program may be helpful to improve stress coping behaviors through reducing inactive/avoidance coping as well as to strengthen self-esteem, especially among participants who had low self-esteem before the intervention.
