Music Therapy music therapy rap writing at-risk adolescents self-esteem hip hop rap in therapy hip hop in therapy The negative behaviors displayed by adolescents who are at-risk can have detrimental effects on society. Developmentally appropriate, engaging treatments that adolescents enjoy may be the most successful as preventative interventions. The purpose of this study was to investigate rap writing as a possible treatment intervention to improve self-esteem of at-risk adolescents. A convergent, mixed methods design was used to provide qualitative insight into quantitative results. Quantitative measures include the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale and a frequency count of low self-esteem behaviors. Qualitative measures included a thematic analysis of a post study questionnaire, a session transcription, and lyrics written by the participants. The results of this study suggest that rap writing had some positive effect on the self-esteem of three at-risk middle school boys. Participants perceived rap writing as a fun activity that increased confidence and satisfaction. 2015-08-25 English text Ohio University / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ohiou1429108872 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ohiou1429108872 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
