Abstract
Leong, F. T. L, & Sedlacek, W. E. A Comparison of International and U.S. Student Preferences for Help-Sources. Research Report No. 1–85, Counseling Center, University of Maryland, College Park, 1985, 11 pp. A questionnaire on the preference for 12 help-sources for an educational-vocational and an emotional-social problem was completed by 194 international students during their orientation program and by 179 first-semester U.S. freshmen. Multivariate analysis of variance revealed that, in comparison with the U.S. students, the international students were more likely to prefer help on an educational-vocational problem from a faculty adviser, faculty member, relative, or male or female counselor and less likely to seek help from a parent or a student or nonstudent friend. For an emotional-social problem, the international students were more likely than were the U.S. students to prefer a faculty member, faculty adviser, male or female counselor, psychiatrist, or physician and less likely to prefer a parent, an older friend, or a student or nonstudent friend.
