The present study compared, using delayed multiple-criteria measures, the effectiveness of two different group-counseling techniques with college Ss who expressed a desire to improve their academic performance. The procedures were a more traditional approach focusing on personal-emotional problems and one on development of behaviors appropriate for college achievement. Groups were compared with two control groups on three criteria, pre-post change scores in grade point average, adjustment scores, and study habits and attitudes scores. The 5 hypotheses were not supported. Implications for research and practice in group counseling were discussed.

Happiness is an important factor influencing academic performance, and many college freshmen have experienced adjustment difficulties during the COVID-19 pandemic. We applied Q methodology to explore South Korean freshmen students' perceptions of happiness in 2020. Participants were divided into three groups according to perceptions of happiness: (a) those who considered relationships as vital for happiness, (b) those who considered freedom to have new experiences as vital for happiness, and (c) those who considered setting and achieving goals as vital for happiness. These findings can serve as basic data for the development of curricula and programs to help college freshmen adapt to college life.
