Abstract

The present research aims to examine the effect of a counseling program based on the integrative and transactional interaction approach in enhancing self-disclosure among fourth-year high school female students. To achieve the research objectives, the researcher adopted a self-disclosure scale developed by Saleh (2022) based on the Social Penetration Theory by Guard (1971). The scale consists of 45 items distributed across three dimensions. The researcher then designed a counseling program consisting of ten sessions, conducted twice a week, utilizing Berne’s techniques. The results indicated that the integrative and transactional interaction approach significantly contributed to enhancing self-disclosure among the experimental group, as demonstrated by the post-test results.
