Journal Title: Psychology and Education: A Multidisciplinary Journal - Year 2023, Vol 13, Issue 7
Abstract
The study investigated the relationship between depressive symptoms and locus of control of truant students using the mixed method of research. Using the Spearman Rank of Correlation as the main statistical treatment, the results of the research suggest that the association between the depressive symptoms and locus of control was not proven yet, anxiety factors of depression show a significant relationship with respondents' locus of control. On the contrary, results show that 72% of truant students are within the normal range of depression level, yet 28% reported mild depressive symptoms. Nevertheless, interventions for depressive symptoms should be inclusive in the school Guidance Development Program. Thus, using the results of this study, numbers of recommendations are made which primarily aim to strengthen mental health of students and prevent truancy.
