Psychological intervention in an amateur guitarist using the motivational coaching model "The Giraffe of Canton".

Abstract

We present here a case study psychological intervention; using a methodological triangulation, that combines qualitative
and quantitative analysis. The subject was a 20-year-old student girl who wants to resume efficiently playing the
guitar by investing the necessary time, combining it appropriately with her other activities. The motivational coaching
model “Cantón’s Giraffe” (using a protocol specially designed for this model), and the Ryff Psychological Wellbeing
questionnaires and the Rosenberg Self-esteem questionnaire are used as a basis for psychological intervention, as well
as qualitative analysis to evaluate the process and the completion of the intervention. The results show an improvement
in the scores of self-esteem, with some improvements in some dimensions of psychological well-being, but not in others,
which even had some deterioration (probably due to a difficult family situation) and a significant improvement in motivation
in relation to the objective raised. These results are in line with the efficacy of other similar studies.
