Predictors of Depressive Symptomatology Among Hispanic First‐Year College Students

The authors examined whether perceptions of self‐esteem, coping self‐efficacy, and emotional intelligence could significantly predict the presence of depressive symptomatology among a sample of 146 Hispanic first‐year college students (53 men, 93 women). The results of a sequential multiple linear regression analysis indicated the 3 predictor variables contributed 43.3% of the variance noted in students’ reporting of depression symptoms through their Patient Health Questionnaire–9 (Spitzer et al., 1999) scores. The authors discuss implications for future research and provide recommendations for college counseling practice.     

Young,Depressed, and Black: A Comparative Exploration of Depressive Symptomatology Among Black and White Collegiate Women

This comparative study explored the rates of depression and psychosocial correlates for 369 collegiate White and Black females. Women between the ages of 18 and 25 were recruited to participate in this anonymous online survey. Black females reported significantly greater amounts of depressive symptomatology (M = 24.61) in comparison to the White females (M = 15.68), (F (1,377) = 61.434, p < .001). A series of Chi-square analyses indicated that Black women (52.3%) were also significantly more likely to meet criteria for major depression than White women (21.7%). These findings highlight the racial disparities in psychosocial health among college students.     

大学生抑郁情绪与家庭亲密度、孤独感的关系

为了探讨家庭亲密度与抑郁情绪的关系,以及孤独感在家庭亲密度与抑郁情绪间的作用机制,采用家庭环境量表、抑郁自评量表和孤独感量表对310名大学生进行随机调查。结果发现,身体健康状况差的大学生更容易产生抑郁情绪与孤独感,家庭关系破裂的大学生家庭亲密度较低;家庭亲密度与抑郁情绪之间存在显著负相关;孤独感与抑郁情绪之间存在显著正相关;家庭亲密度与孤独感之间存在负相关;家庭亲密度、孤独感对抑郁情绪均有显著的预测作用,且孤独感在家庭亲密度与抑郁情绪之间存在部分中介作用。研究认为,无论是直接调节抑郁情绪还是通过孤独感间接调节抑郁情绪,家庭亲密度对抑郁情绪都具有显著的效果。

The Effectiveness of Light Therapy for College Student Depression

There is a growing number of students on college campuses with mental health problems and college counseling services are reporting significant increases in student demand for counseling. Depression, a mental illness consisting of profound sadness, fatigue, and irritability, as well as low motivation, poor academic performance, and suicidal behaviors, is one of the top presenting concerns for students who seek help. This study investigates the effectiveness of light therapy in a sample of 79 college students who suffer from depression. This study examines changes in overall depression scores and also assesses changes in sleep, appetite, pain, and concentration levels. Results showed significant improvements in overall depression scores as well as improved sleeping behaviors and decreases in somatic aches and pains, concentration difficulties, and appetite problems. These promising results suggest light therapy may be an effective and inexpensive means for reducing symptoms of young adult depression.     

Encouraging College Student Active Engagement in Learning: The Influence of Response Methods

The purpose of this study was to examine the use of two student response methods within selected college lecture halls. Kinesiology majors from three universities were asked to respond to questions during two consecutive lectures, one using “clickers” and the other using hand-raising. Participation and comprehension rates were statistically significantly different following the use of the different response methods. Participant survey responses revealed insight into student participation, question presentation, perceived cognitive engagement, and overall learning in traditional lecture settings using the response methods.

The Influence of Social Norms on College Student Alcohol and Marijuana Use

The Alcohol and Other Drug survey (adapted from D. Thombs, 1999) was administered to 235 undergraduates at a southeastern university to assess the influence that gender‐specific normative perceptions have on 2 substance abuse patterns. Multiple regression analyses confirmed that gender‐specific normative beliefs accounted for variance in alcohol use intensity and frequency of marijuana use beyond the variance accounted for by sociodemographic variables. Implications for college counselors are discussed.     

母亲教养方式对大学生社交焦虑的影响:自尊的中介作用

旨在探讨母亲教养方式与大学生社交焦虑的关系,并考察自尊的中介作用,以期根据研究结果提出一些缓解大学生社交焦虑的对策。通过问卷法对273名大学生进行调查。结果表明,母亲负性教养方式可通过自尊的中介作用间接地影响大学生的社交焦虑。据此提出建议,除了改善家庭教养方式之外,学校和教师还可以有意识地帮助学生提高自尊,以减少其社交焦虑,帮助大学生更好地适应社会生活。     

The Influence of Gender Identity on Separation Related Depressive Phenomena in College Men and Women

The chapter examines the effects of gender identity formation on the depressive configurations of men and women. It is proposed that the separation-individuation processes in males and females differ significantly and, in conjection with gender identity development, contribute to dramatic differences in males' and females' orientations toward relatedness, autonomy, separation, and their internal and external object worlds. Clinical vignettes are included as a means of illustrating the contrasting manifestations of man's and women's struggles with separation-individuation.

College Counseling and Student Retention:

Although it is commonly believed that college counseling positively affects student retention and further, that there are convincing data and evidence to support such a belief, an extensive literature search found no objective evidence at all on the relationship of a counseling center's conventional one-to-one counseling and therapy activities with short-term student retention. Two program evaluations which attempt to relate one-to-one individual counseling and psychotherapy to student retention rates at an urban regional state university are discussed. Changes in attendance rates, such as dropping out or retuning between quarters are the criteria used to evaluate program effects for both studies. The first study searched for discernible statistically significant effects. Three-quarters of comparisons of upperclassmen found conceivable retention advantages of students receiving counseling center services over a base-rate group. Yet the freshmen results suggest that counseling may be associates with student attrition, not retention. The second study investigated the relationship between retention and possibly relevant presenting problems and demographic variables of students undergoing individual counseling. No attendance differences among counseled students were found due to age, gender, or presenting problem. Following a discussion of the results, suggentions for future research are presented. A longitudinal, quasi-experimental controlled study of the impact counseling on student retention is clearly needed.     

父母教养方式对大学生人际信任的影响：心理控制源的中介作用

为了探讨心理控制源在父母教养方式与人际信任之间的中介作用,采用人际信任量表(ITS)、内在—外在心理控制源量表(I-E)和父母教养方式评价量表(EMBU)对大学生进行调查,并使用Process插件进行中介效应检验。结果显示:父母消极教养方式与人际信任、心理控制源均呈显著正相关;人际信任与心理控制源呈显著正相关;心理控制源在父母消极教养方式与大学生人际信任间的中介效应显著。结论:父母消极教养方式不仅会直接影响大学生的人际信任,还会通过心理控制源对大学生的人际信任产生间接影响。
