This study aimed to determine whether group guidance can help to increase students’ self-acceptance. Data were collected through a Likert scale and through interviews with guidance and counseling teachers. The research subjects were eleventh-grade students of State Senior High School 11 in Yogyakarta. A quantitative approach was taken and data were analyzed through Wilcoxon tests. The results showed that there were differences before and after students were given group guidance services and this was statistically significant (0.028 < 0.05). We conclude that student self-acceptance can be increased through group guidance services.Keywords: self-acceptance, group guidance, students ER -
