A follow-up study of social guidance at the college level

Abstract

A follow-up study was made of a 1940 survey which included a group of freshmen girls who had received guidance in social adjustment and directed toward participation in extra-curricular activities and a control group which had not received the special guidance. Those who received the social problems guidance exceeded the control group in (1) number of contacts with the student counseling bureau; (2) mean number of college activities, committees, and offices; (3) percentage graduating; (4) a less severe diagnosis for those who contacted the mental hygiene clinic.
