Abstract

The cornerstone of Adler's view of human behavior, Gemeinschaftsgefühl (referring to social interest), is considered a major factor in promoting adjustment of the individual. The present research investigates the social interest development among high school students. The findings indicate that the female students scored higher in the subscale 1, the Sense of Connectedness, and lower in the subscale 2, the Sense of Hostility, than did the male students. The study also confirmed the positive correlation between social interest and education level. An Adlerian group counseling format in local high school setting is also discussed in the paper. © 2010 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
