Predictors of Well-Being among Nontraditional Female Students with Children
Quimby, Julie L.; O'Brien, Karen M.
Journal of Counseling & Development, v84 n4 p451-460 Fall 2006
Many nontraditional female students experience psychological distress related to balancing family and academic roles, whereas others benefit from managing multiple roles. This study of 209 nontraditional female undergraduate students with children investigated factors that influence their psychological well-being. Results indicated that secure attachment, parent and student self-efficacy, and social support contributed to the prediction of psychological distress (38%), self-esteem (54%), and life satisfaction (35%). Recommendations are made to enhance counseling services for nontraditional female students.
