Randomization unit: individual; meaning that each student will be placed independently in one of the two groups. Randomization tool: A random number table or computer software (such as the RAND function in Excel) will be used to generate a random sequence. Sequence construction method: A list of eligible students' numbers will be prepared and, based on the sequence generated by the tool, they will be allocated to the experimental and control groups, respectively. Allocation concealment: The allocation sequence will be prepared in advance by someone outside the research team and placed in sealed and numbered envelopes. The conducting researcher will only open the relevant envelope when each participant arrives and identify his or her group. In this way, the possibility of predicting or manipulating the allocation sequence is minimized. N/A Decreased meaning in life; decreased life expectancy; poor self-reflection in adolescents.
