Social Justice Advocacy among Graduate Students in Counseling: An Initial Exploration
Nilsson, Johanna E.; Schmidt, Christa K.
Journal of College Student Development, v46 n3 p267-279 May-Jun 2005
This study examined variables that were hypothesized to contribute to social justice advocacy among 134 graduate students enrolled in counseling programs, including problem solving skills, worldview, social concern, and political interest. Of these variables, the desire to become involved in social justice advocacy and political interest predicted actual engagement in social justice advocacy. The results also showed that many of the participants presented with low levels of social justice advocacy. Implications for training and research are included.
