Executing posttest after2months of the counseling.Independent samples t-test of ATMD results shows that experimental group scores significantlyimproved, time control dimension and time efficacy dimension significantly improved, and theimprovement of the dimension of time value is not significant. Paired samples t-test of ATMDscores results showed that before the intervention trial, experimental group was homogeneouswith control group, after the intervention trial the experimental group and the control group weresignificantly different. Inference: Time Management counseling resulted in improvement ofATMD score. Independent samples t-test of adjustment results shows that the total score ofCCSAS and in addition to self-adjust dimension other dimensions were significantly different.Paired samples t-test of CCSAS scores results showed that before the intervention trial,experimental group was homogeneous with control group, after the intervention trial theexperimental group and the control group were significantly different.
