Stress coping and the adjustment process among university freshmen

The purpose of the present study was to investigate causal relationships between dispositional and situational coping and health status in university freshmen. Two hundred and twenty-nine university freshmen completed questionnaires at Time 1 (immediately after university matriculation) and at Time 2 (approximately three months later) in a short-term, prospective study. Structural equation modeling was used to analyze causal relationships between four coping strategies (i.e., emotion expression, emotional support seeking, cognitive reinterpretation, and problem solving) and four health status variables (i.e., somatic symptoms, anxiety and insomnia, social dysfunction, and depression). Increases in dispositional coping predicted increases in situational coping at certain time points. In addition, increases in dispositional emotion-focused coping, such as emotion expression and emotional support seeking, predicted poor health status. This relationship was mediated by situational coping variables. Finally, increases in dispositional problem-focused coping, such as cognitive reinterpretation and problem solving, predicted better health status. This relationship was direct or indirectly mediated by situational coping variables. Our data suggest that the use of coping skills such as cognitive reinterpretation and problem solving may promote better health and adaptation in university freshmen.     

Coventry university students’ experience of mental health problems

Growing numbers of university students are reporting mental health problems and using counselling services. The purpose of this study was to examine Coventry University students’ experience of mental health problems. The Department of Health (DoH) Mental Health Survey questionnaire (2003) was used to examine the experience of mental health problems and help seeking behaviour. Within the last 12 months nearly three quarters of students had experienced anxious or depressed moods, or, personal, mental, nervous or emotional problems, with a third of students failing to seek help. Ethnic minority students were more likely to report problems and less likely to seek help when compared to white students. Male students were less likely to seek help compared to female students. There are few existing studies that have focused on the mental health of students at universities established after 1992 from existing polytechnics. Coventry University exceeds the Government benchmark targets for recruiting students from non-traditional backgrounds. Our results show that it is these groups of students who are more likely to experience mental health problems.

The coming changes in psychoanalytic education: Part II

This paper is the second part of a general analysis of problems in contemporary psychoanalytic education. Having proposed changes in the training analysis and supervisory systems in Part I, here the author focuses on concrete proposals regarding changes in the curriculum, seminars and classroom teaching; the governance of psychoanalytic institutes, relationship of institutes with their respective psychoanalytic society and the role of the university in the development of science and research; the admission, progression, and graduating processes; certifi cation and accreditation.     

Relation between self‐knowledge reference and self‐monitoring of emotional state1

Abstract: We used a task facilitation paradigm to examine whether self‐knowledge reference and self‐monitoring have a functional relationship. Eighteen participants performed a series of tasks: self‐knowledge reference, evaluation, self‐monitoring, and semantic. Responses on the self‐knowledge reference task were faster when the previous task was self‐monitoring rather than semantic. However, responses on the self‐monitoring task were similar regardless of whether it was preceded by the self‐knowledge reference task or the evaluation task. Our results suggest that self‐monitoring induces self‐knowledge reference.     

大学教师职业生涯管理因素结构研究

在文献研究、结构化访谈和半开放式问卷调查的基础上,采用因素分析方法对大学教师职业生涯管理的因素结构及其与人口统计学变量之间内在关系进行了实证研究,结果显示（1）大学教师自我职业生涯管理是由教书育人、科研创新、明确目标、沟通协调、认识自我和了解组织等六因素结构构成,大学教师组织职业生涯管理是由专业支持、职业通道、科研激励和组织公平等四因素结构构成;（2）大学教师自我职业生涯管理与组织职业生涯管理显著相关;（3）大学教师自我职业生涯管理与性别、婚姻、教龄、学历、职称等人口统计学变量显著相关。研究结果对高校人力资源管理有启示意义。     

高校中层管理干部胜任力模型的初步建构

通过对57名高校中层管理干部的关键事件访谈,初步建立了高校中层管理干部胜任力模型,结果发现:(1)高校中层管理干部的胜任力模型包括授权激励、组织协调、创新开拓、目标监控、决策判断、沟通表达、成就驱动、团结协作、教育视野、教育信念、民主责任、尊重理解、学术(业务)素养等13项胜任特征。(2)高校中层管理干部的胜任力模型跟中小学教师胜任力模型有一定的相似之处,但跟企业家的胜任力模型差异较大。     

652名大学生应对方式与其人格特质的相关研究

对682名在校大学生同时进行“应对方式问卷”和“16PF”测试,并对652份有效答卷进行了数据处理。结果发现,大学生在认知、情感、行为三个方面所表现的积极与消极的应对方式与其所反映的16种人格特质之间存在不同程度的相关,尤其是与C（稳定性）、H（敢为性）、O（忧虑性）、Q3（自律性）、Q4（紧张性）这些人格特质均存在非常显著的相关,而与B（聪慧性）、I（敏感性）等人格特质仅在个别侧面有显著相关。经过二次因素分析发现,大学生的认知、情感、行为方面的应对方式与其次元人格因素也存在着不同程度的相关。     

Prevalence of mental health problems in Australian university health services

General practice patients report greater mental health problems than the general population, and students attending one university health service have reported greater prevalence rates at the end of the academic year. This study assessed the overall prevalence rate of mental health problems in university students using a cross‐sectional survey design of 1,168 students from three large, predominantly urban, Australian university health services. Approximately half of the students attending university health services reported elevated levels of psychological distress. The majority of severely distressed students had not sought any professional assistance for mental health problems. While there is scope for general practitioners to take a lead role in the identification of mental health problems in tertiary students, adequate treatment pathways need to be available. Implications for the role of universities in prevention work are discussed.
