Description
Summary:Limited literature exists on how to improve classroom concentration (CC) of survivors of kidnapping. The current study extends the literature in this direction through a quasi-experiment involving 470 schoolchildren (SC) who survived kidnapping in the last one year. The result of the study showed that SC who received counseling through a visual multimedia (VM) package reported more CC than their counterparts who received counseling through face-to-face setting. The study concludes that VM is a cost-effective way of improving CC of SC who are survivors of kidnapping.
