Abstract

"The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated the need for online counseling to preserve therapeutic processes that have begun face to face and to provide service to others in need during lockdowns. Previous studies have already indicated the benefits and effectiveness of online counseling. However, there is a lack of research concerning the therapist's characteristics who is the best fit to conduct online counseling. Therefore, this study is focused on several precursors of openness to provide online counseling: preference to communicate emotions online, identification of emotional expressiveness advantages in providing online counseling, innovative behavior, creativity, and future problem-solving thinking skills. The question at focus is which constructs would be found contributive to students’ openness to provide online counseling. The sample was 277 undergraduate students (future counselors) who filled out questionnaires. Data were analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling. Our findings pointed to the centrality of students’ preference to communicate their emotions online in explaining their openness to conducting online counseling. This study might help encourage students’ openness towards providing online counseling. In addition, the current investigation may help pinpoint the adjustments curriculum designers should address to better reflect the intensive changes within the counseling field that necessitate transferring face-to-face skills to online settings."

那些愿意提供在线咨询的人有什么特点?

“COVID-19大流行的爆发加速了对在线咨询的需求，以保持已经开始的面对面治疗过程，并在封锁期间向有需要的人提供服务。之前的研究已经表明了在线咨询的好处和有效性。然而，关于最适合进行在线咨询的治疗师的特征，缺乏研究。因此，本研究将重点放在提供在线咨询的开放性的几个前兆:偏好在线交流情绪、识别提供在线咨询的情感表达优势、创新行为、创造力和未来解决问题的思维能力。重点问题是，哪些结构将有助于学生提供在线咨询的开放性。样本是277名大学生(未来的辅导员)，他们填写了调查问卷。采用偏最小二乘结构方程模型对数据进行分析。我们的研究结果指出，学生喜欢在网上交流自己的情绪，这是他们对进行在线咨询持开放态度的核心原因。这项研究可能有助于鼓励学生对提供在线咨询持开放态度。此外，目前的调查可能有助于确定课程设计者应该做出的调整，以更好地反映咨询领域的剧烈变化，这些变化需要将面对面的技能转移到在线环境中。”
