Abstract
Amidst the "New Normal" era, domestic violence remains a critical crisis affecting the quality of life of youth. This mixed-methods quasi-experimental research aimed to 1) develop achievement motivation in strengthening New Normal family empowerment, positive attitude towards strengthening New Normal family empowerment, New Normal family empowerment behaviors, and the ability to use the incubation program among youth leaders; and 2) examine the effectiveness of youth leaders in using the incubation program to strengthen achievement motivation in strengthening New Normal family empowerment, positive attitude towards strengthening New Normal family empowerment, and New Normal family empowerment behaviors of high school students. The research was conducted in three phases: Phase 1: Youth leader development, Phase 2: Experimentation, and Phase 3: Follow-up. Participants consisted of 43 undergraduate youth leaders and 400 high school students, divided into an experimental group and a control group with 200 students each. Data were analyzed using Repeated Measures ANOVA and content analysis.The results revealed that: 1) The youth leader development process was significantly successful (p < .001), with youth leaders showing increased mean scores in achievement motivation in strengthening New Normal family empowerment, positive attitude towards strengthening New Normal family empowerment, and New Normal family empowerment behaviors, along with the ability to effectively facilitate the process. 2) Regarding the student group, Repeated Measures ANOVA indicated significant interaction effects between time and experimental group at the .001 level for all variables. The experimental group exhibited significantly higher mean scores in achievement motivation in strengthening New Normal family empowerment, positive attitude towards strengthening New Normal family empowerment, and New Normal family empowerment behaviors compared to the control group (p < .05) at both the immediate post-test and the 2-month follow-up. Qualitative data confirmed that students practically shifted their perspectives and behaviors to reduce family conflicts. This study indicates that utilizing youth leaders as change agents is an effective mechanism for building social immunity to end domestic violence.
