Perceived problem areas by Black and White students and hints about comparative counseling needs
Abstract
The Student Problem Areas Survey was administered to 108 Black and 184 White students attending a predominantly White university and to 55 Black students attending a predominantly Black university. Data from a 2-way randomized block design were analyzed by way of the multivariate ANOVA and a series of ANOVAs. The pattern of results shows several significant differences on specific problem areas but none between Blacks attending universities with different racial make-ups nor between the groups on variables that typically suggest counseling needs. There was one ^h Group × Class ^H interaction; the ranking of the problem areas was the same for the 3 groups. Results are discussed in terms of their implications for counseling needs of Black students in university settings. (15 ref)
