DISCUSSION
• Adolescents who were participated in this research tends to have a relatively high life satisfaction
• Adolescents tend to use collaborative style in coping rather than deffering or self-directive
DISCUSSION
• This research showed that there was a positive correlation between life satisfaction score and collaborative style score
• Adolescents who perceived them selves working together with God in coping with problem appeared to be satisfied with their life.
• This finding consistent with the previous findings ( Bjork , et al. 2010; Pargament, et al. 1988; Tadie, 2010)
DISCUSSION
• These coping styles relates to further attributions to the nature of God (Hood, Hill, Spilka, 2009)
• The collaborative style adolescents have the tendency to view God has control over their life along with their personal sense of control.
• We saw the collaborative style as having an external control and internal control in somewhat degree
• We tend to be happy when we see ourselves in control
DISCUSSION
• The deffering style and self-directive style did not show to be associated with life satisfaction
• This finding showed that neither God nor self are able to stand alone in affecting adolescents well-being
• This finding suggest that it was God and human as co-worker might affect adolescents well-being
DISCUSSION
• The notion of God and man working together is harmonious with the teaching of Christian faith
• In Christian teaching, one was taught to rely on God and also he/she has to prepare and must be diligently working all the time
• Further study is needed to investigate the acclaimed that God and us working together in different religion such as Islam
DISCUSSION
• Utilizing collaborative style in counseling might be helpful in order to maintain adolescents well-being
• Addressing God and his positive quality might be useful in working with religious adolescents in counselling
