A Subjectivity Study of College Students' Coaching Issues

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to categorize how college students perceive coaching topics and to revitalize college students' coaching based on an understanding of the perception of each type. The Q methodology was used for this study. The Q sample was 33 coaching topic items, and the P sample was 38 college students. As a result, four perception types were revealed. Namely, “self-management topic-seeking type,” “relationship formation topic-seeking type,” “balanced life topic-seeking type,” and “continuous life topic-seeking type.” When coaches can understand each type's characteristics based on these results, they can contribute to their students’ efforts to develop their lives while at college.
