Abstract
This study examined the effect of interactive television-based visual art therapy and expressive arts therapy on the critical thinking skills of school children that survived abduction. A quasi-experiment was conducted among 470 school children in two secondary schools. The participants were divided into a control group ( N = 235) and experimental group ( N = 235). The experiment group was further divided into the art therapy group and the expressive art therapy group. We found that art therapy and expressive art therapy were effective in improving the critical thinking skills of the children who experienced kidnapping in Nigeria.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Asian and African Studies (JAAS) was founded in 1965 to further research and study on Asia and Africa. JAAS is a peer reviewed journal of area studies recognised for consistent scholarly contributions to cutting-edge issues and debates. The journal welcomes articles, research notes, and book reviews that focus on the dynamics of global change and development of Asian and African nations, societies, cultures, and the global community. Published articles cover: -development and change -technology and communication -globalization -public administration -politics -economy -education -health, wealth, and welfare -poverty and growth -humanities -sociology -political science -linguistics -economics JAAS adheres to a double-blind reviewing policy in which the identity of both the reviewer and author are always concealed from both parties. Decisions on manuscripts will be taken as rapidly as possible. However, while it is hoped that a decision can be made in 6-8 weeks, the refereeing process makes it impossible to predict the length of time that will be required to process any given manuscript.
