Attitudes toward Counseling and Counseling Willingness of Air Force Personnel.
Beeson, Gilbert W., Jr.
This study attempts to measure the attitudes of Air Force personnel toward counseling, the willingness of Air Force personnel to seek counseling for personal problems, and the relationships which exist between selected variables and attitude-counseling willingness. The variables examined were technical versus non-technical occupations, length of time served in the Air Force, career versus non-career status, military rank, and counseling agency preferences. The subjects of the study were 545 military officers and enlisted personnel assigned to Minot Air Force Base, North Dakota. Questionnaires were administered to individuals attending mandatory race relations and drug abuse seminars conducted by social actions staff, and 355 participants in the chaplin's portion of a mandatory orientation for newly arrived personnel. Significant correlations were obtained for the relationships between the selected variables and attitude-counseling willingness. These findings are described in detail, and their implications are discussed. (SJL)
