The Impact

Student attitudes toward accessing school counseling services were the focus of a survey of 3,584 middle school and high school students. Respondents identified barriers to seeking help from school counselors, including stigma, a desire to manage problems themselves, a lack of a positive relationship with their school counselor, and a concern that the counselor would not keep disclosures confidential. This study also examined the impact of gender, age, and race/ethnicity on students’ willingness to seek help from their school counselor. We present implications for practice and future research.

Gifted students tend to have too perfectionistic social skills, want others to be in accordance with the desired logic, comfortable interacting with students with homogeneous characteristics. This tendency can be modified by school counselors through the integration of the values of Saprahan local wisdom into guidance and counseling services. The values contained in Saprahan are used as the formation of students' empathy skills. Thus, gifted students have concern for other colleagues, can interact well with students of various characters, accept the shortcomings of other friends, embrace and help other friends, be polite in communicating, and not demean other friends.

The study aimed to investigate the relationship between the effectiveness of career counseling services and career future anxiety among a sample of high school students in Jordan. The study sample consisted of 957 students selected randomly from the Directorate of Irbid. The study took place in the second semester of 2011/2012. The results indicated that the effectiveness of career counseling services perceived by the students was moderate, and the level of future career anxiety of the students was high. The correlation coefficients between the two scales were weak. There were statistically significant differences in the level of career counseling services in inviting experts and specialists due to gender in favor of males. Also, there were statistically significant differences attributable to the level of achievement in favor of high achievers. Also, the results revealed significant difference in the group and individual counseling sessions attributable to grade level in favor of grade 10. However, there was no significant difference in future anxiety attributable to any of the independent variables.

Practical Implications

Purpose The purpose of this paper was to explore the identity theft victimization experiences of high school students, as well as the predictors of it being reported to school counselors. Design/methodology/approach In July and August 2014, an online survey was sent to every registered member of the American School Counselor’s Association (ASCA). School counselors were questioned about their experiences in regarding online victimization of their students. Findings Results of this analysis revealed extremely interesting predictors of school counselor demographics related to the number of reports filed by students. Research limitations/implications There was a small response rate because the survey was sent to all registered members of the ASCA, instead of a specific targeted group (which would have been more appropriate). Practical implications The results indicate a need for further resources and training dedicated to school counselors to manage identity theft victimization of students. Originality/value As far as the authors are aware, no other study of this kind has previously been performed. In addition, there is little known about identity theft victimization of adolescents.
