Community College Counseling: Why Are Research Outcomes So Elusive?

This article focuses on counseling research in the community college context. The article suggests the need for a robust community college knowledge base, describes some limitations of the current community college literature, and suggests a framework for more effective work in this area. The authors’ own experiences and selected examples of published studies are used as illustrations of the hurdles encountered and solutions available when examining counseling theories, practices, and outcomes in 2‐year settings.     

The advantage of mixing examples in inductive learning: a comparison of three hypotheses

Mixing examples of different categories (interleaving) has been shown to promote inductive learning as compared with presenting examples of the same category together (massing). In three studies, we tested whether the advantage of interleaving is exclusively due to the mixing of examples from different categories or to the temporal gap introduced between presentations. In addition, we also tested the role of working memory capacity (WMC). Results showed that the mixing of examples might be the key component that determines improved induction. WMC might also be involved in the interleaving effect: participants with high spans seemed to profit more than participants with low spans from interleaved presentations. Our findings have relevant implications for education. Practice schedules should be individually customised so society as a whole can profit from differences between learners.     

Counseling With HEART: A Relationship Violence Prevention Program for College Students

Relationship violence is a salient concern on college campuses today, and psychoeducational groups may be an appropriate prevention format. This article describes a study measuring the impact of college student participation in the HEART (Help End Abusive Relationships Today) program, a series of group sessions designed to increase knowledge and awareness of relationship violence. Findings indicated significant changes for group participants postintervention. Implications and recommendations for college counselors are discussed.     

心理咨询师的个人成长问题研究

心理咨询师的个人成长是影响心理咨询效果的核心因素。心理咨询师的个人成长应关注心理咨询师的专业伦理水平、人生哲学观、对重大生活问题的态度、“未处理事件”、自我觉察能力及职业枯竭现象,同时还应关注心理咨询过程中的重大具体问题。心理咨询师要达到个人成长就要不断进行自我探讨和理论研究、开展心理互助,接受专家心理分析和专业培训,还要预防个人职业枯竭。     

心理冲突与应激水平、主观幸福感关系研究

采用自编的心理冲突调查问卷、Cawte量表和主观幸福感指数量表(WBIS),调查531名大学生的心理冲突状况、应激水平及主观幸福感。结果为:(1)过多的心理冲突可引起生理与心理应激水平的升高;(2)心理冲突频率与应激水平呈显著的正相关(r=0.533,P<0.01);(3)心理冲突频率与主观幸福感呈显著的负相关(r=-0.158,P<0.01)。因此,过多的心理冲突已构成应激源,是影响学生身心健康的重要因素之一。大学生心理冲突问题应予以关注。
