Suicide In The Traditional College Student Population: Pertinent Findings For The College Student Personnel Professional, Loren Monroe Wakefield

Graduate Research Papers

Many writers agree that the rate of suicide among college students is higher than that of non-students of similar age and of the general population (Bernard and Bernard, 1982). Bonner and Rich (1987) stated that the suicide rate is about 50% higher for college students than for the general population. They also found that the suicide rate among students is higher than among non-students of the same age.

What Principals Can Do To Lessen The Effects Of Stress On Teachers, Randall Gene Otto

Graduate Research Papers

Stress can affect anyone in any occupation. In this paper, discussion on the effects of stress will be narrowed to only one profession, teaching. The researcher will report the literature as to the definition of what stress is, its symptoms, discuss ways to measure Its frequency, look at the causes of stress within the teaching profession, and finally present ways that principals and other administrators can lessen the effects of stress. A generic definition of stress was offered by Bertlnusen (cited in Parson, 1987) when he stated that stress was a non-specific response of the body to any demand placed …

Programming To Meet The Needs Of Commuter Students, Joanne Kay Loonan

Graduate Research Papers

Commuter students are defined as those who live with their parents, spouse, family, or by themselves (Flanagan, 1976) in housing not provided by the institution. They comprise eighty percent of the undergraduate population in American colleges (Stewart and Rue, 1983). Commuters have been dubbed "the neglected majority" (Slade and Jarmul, 1975), because academic and personal counseling, campus activities, and special services have not been provided for these students on a consistent basis.

Family Therapy And The Treatment Of Alcoholism, Stephanie L. Lieder

Graduate Research Papers

The statistics relating to alcoholism indicate the seriousness of this problem within the United States. According to Kinney and Leaton (1983), an estimated 3.3 million adolescents between the ages of 14 and 17 years have serious drinking problems. Steinglass (1981) stated that nine million adults in our society either abused or were addicted to alcohol. The pervasiveness of this problem is demonstrated by Kinney and Leaton (1983) who estimated that "for every person with an alcohol problem, four family members are directly affected" (p. 25). These statistics have important ramifications for family therapy. Since family therapists generally work with two …

Adolescent Suicide: The Secondary School's Response, Stephen K. Bomgaars

Graduate Research Papers

The number of adolescent suicides has risen steadily over the past thirty years. The United States Department of Health and Human Services reported that from 1950-1982, the suicide rate for adolescents increased by 300% (McGinnis, 1987). About 6,000 young people murder themselves each year (Keasey & Keasey, 1988). According to Johnson and Maile (1987) the problem of adolescent suicide is not confined to the United States as both Canada and Western European countries have experienced an increase in suicide rates in the past ten years. Neither is the problem confined to a particular area of the United States. The overall …

Essential Ingredients Of Effective Student At-Risk Programs, Terry Lee Christiansen

Graduate Research Papers

At-risk students might be an undefinable group. There is; however, a greater consensus of the characteristics and significance this group plays toward our society as stated by Research for Better Schools (1989). McCann and Austin (1988) maintain that you must differentiate among three sets of definitions. The primary problem is in reference to students "at risk" of not achieving the goal of education which is graduation. These students are perceived as not being able to acquire knowledge or skills that would allow them to become productive members of American society.

The number of couples who have voluntarily chosen not to have children has doubled in the last few decades, according to the National Center for Health Statistics, Census Bureau, (Kantrowitz, 1985).

In 1985 the number of married women in the same age group who chose not to have children was twenty-nine percent, which averaged one out of every four women (Kantrowitz, 1985). The only option for married women, in the …

Cross-Cultural Literacy: An American Imperative, Margaret Baird Davis

Graduate Research Papers

The world is becoming a global village, say the experts. Just as individuals are dependent upon and, in turn, are depended on by their family, friends, and immediate communities, so are the nations of the world becoming highly interdependent (Brademas, 1987; Horne & Masson, 1988). The more this situation comes to pass, the more important does it become that we all make ourselves cross-culturally literate--that we become knowledgeable, that is, of the political and economic systems that exist around the world and of the many different ways people have of thinking, feeling, acting, and viewing things.

Adult Children Of Alcoholics, Nancy Swords Hendrickson

Graduate Research Papers

An estimated 25 to 28 million children and adults in the United States grew up, or are presently living in alcoholic homes (Ackerman, 1983). Children from alcoholic homes frequently develop defenses similar to those found in children who have been raised in homes with a high degree of chronic stress. Fear of abandonment or loss also causes these children to exert unrealistic control over the uncertainties of life, and they tend to have an omnipotent belief in the ability to control events which are beyond their control. Also there are predictable grief reactions which have been observed in therapy as …

The Need For Multicultural Training In Counselor Education Programs, Matlhogonolo S. Maboe

Graduate Research Papers

Multicultural counseling is a one-on-one helping relationship between the counselor and the client when the 1 two are of dissimilar culture and/or ethnic backgrounds (Dillard, 1983). For the past two decades, increased attention has been given to the issues involved in multicultural counseling. During this period the counseling profession recognized that mental health needs of the various racial and ethnic groups in the United States had not been adequately met (Jones & Korchin, 1982; Pedersen, 1985; Sue, 1981).

Alcoholism Among Black Americans, Karen Norris-Henderson

Graduate Research Papers

According to the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA), alcohol abuse is the leading health and social problem in Black America today (Hacker, Collins, 1 & Jacobson, 1987). Data analysis from the Secretary's Task Force on Blacks and Minority Health (Ronan, 1986/87) indicated that Blacks suffer disproportionately from health consequences of alcohol abuse and appear to be at disproportionately high risk for certain alcohol related problems. Upton and Jallah (1986) cited another early study, released in 1979 by Dr. Lewis King, which found that alcoholism was the number one social problem in Black America. They further cited how …

Characteristics And Treatment Of Bulimia, Cindy Becker

Graduate Research Papers

Bulimia Nervosa is an eating disorder characterized by the episodic ingestion of large quantities of food in a relatively short period of time and, in most cases, these •binges• are followed by self-induced vomiting, laxative abuse or fasting (Ordman & Kirschenbaum, 1986). The vast majority of bulimic cases are women (only 10% are male) and it is estimated that as much as 20% of high school and collegiate-aged females are actively engaged in bulimic behaviors on a regular basis (Hale & Ware, 1984). More specifically, these behaviors include various aspects of the following according to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual …

Effects Of Various Prekindergarten Learning Environments On A Child's Social Development And Self-Concept, Joel E. Raasch

Graduate Research Papers

An important topic in education today is the issue of preschools for four-year-olds. In particular, there is much talk about what type of curriculum is in the best interest of the prekindergarten youngster. Much is said about "developmentally-appropriate programs for preschoolers", and the search is on for the most appropriate preschool model which will bring about the most desirable and long-term results in our nation's children. This search has been intensified in recent years as state legislatures have begun considering the question of whether or not to issue mandates that would require public schools in their states to offer preschool …
