ABSTRACT
The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of an NLP group counselling program through
meta-analysis. Through a systematic literature review, 30 articles that proved the effectiveness of an
NLP group counselling program among were selected master’s theses and journals published in Korea
from 1994 to 2015, and the effect size of 61 samples was calculated. The results of this study
showed that the NLP group counselling program had a medium effect size of .70l. And in the
effectiveness factors, this study showed that the self-concept(.834) and the emotional domain (.806)
had high effect, the personal relations and the adaptation domain (.590) had moderate effect, and
the career domain (.366) had low effect. This study also examined the moderating effects of the
NLP group counselling program in order to investigate the cause of heterogeneity in the inter-study
effects of the NLP program on group counselling. The results show that ‘the counselling psychology’
was .897 for the research area, ‘female’ was 1.238 for the gender, ‘random allocation’ was .872 for
the group allocation, ‘less than 10 participants’ was .999 for the number of participants, ‘4-8
sessions’ was 1.012 for the number of sessions, and ‘61-90 min’ had the highest effect size of 1.807
for the operating time. Based on these findings, the implications and the limitations of this study
are discussed.
