Abstract

ABSTRACT This study investigated risk and protective factors capable of differentiating dropouts from completers in a university counseling center. Data were collected from college students (N = 285) at a large southeastern university. Results from the logistic regression analysis suggested that clients with mild symptoms of depression were more likely to continue in counseling. Results also showed that alcohol abuse and eating concerns might interact to reduce the likelihood of completion. Finally, increases in symptoms of social anxiety were associated with a higher likelihood of persisting in therapy, and more severe symptoms of generalized anxiety predicted a lower likelihood of completion.

摘要:本研究调查了在大学心理咨询中心区分辍学者和完成者的风险因素和保护因素。资料收集自东南一所大型大学的大学生(N = 285)。logistic回归分析结果表明，轻度抑郁症状的来访者更有可能继续接受咨询。研究结果还表明，酗酒和饮食问题可能会相互作用，降低完成学业的可能性。最后，社交焦虑症状的增加与坚持治疗的可能性更高有关，而更严重的广泛性焦虑症状预示着完成治疗的可能性更低。
