Help-Seeking and Non-Help-Seeking Students' Perceptions of Own and Peers' Mental Health Functioning
Sharkin, Bruce S.; Plageman, Paula M.; Coulter, Lisa P.
Journal of College Counseling, v8 n1 p65 Spr 2005
Help-seeking (HS) students and non-help-seeking (NHS) students were compared on their perceptions of (a) their own level of mental health functioning and (b) the average level of mental health functioning of their (NHS or HS) peers. Results showed that NHS students' perceptions of HS students' self-ratings were similar to HS students' self-ratings of functioning but that HS students underestimated the level of functioning of their NHS peers. Implications of the findings for campus outreach and future research are discussed.
