Doctoral thesis in the Department of Psychological Counseling and Educational Guidance/College of Education for Human Sciences, University of Basra - The effect of the methods of changing the rules and diverting thinking on modifying the future thinking of university students.
The thesis by student Imad Salem Dasher aims to identify the effect of the methods of changing rules and diverting thinking in modifying future thinking among university students.
The thesis dealt with an important topic, which is university students’ negative thinking about the future, as this negative outlook came as a result of the reality they live in as a result of the poor security conditions and the economic and political crises that the country is witnessing at the present time and the confusion and dispersion imposed by reality, which directly or indirectly affects the way of thinking. Towards the future, as they expect that their future will be more ambiguous and thus this is reflected in their thinking about their future career after study and the career opportunities available to them to achieve psychological and professional stability and achieve the decent life they aspire to achieve.
The results showed that the two counseling programs based on the methods of changing the rules and diverting thinking have achieved an impact in modifying future thinking among members of the two experimental groups.
