“…This programme is unique in its focus on the therapeutic relationship in delivering academic support and promoting psychological well‐being. Results of these studies confirmed that the intervention was linked to an increase in psychological wellness and overall academic performance and academic functioning in students with differential needs and was thus identified as a promising two‐pronged approach to promoting student academic success and retention (Antunes‐Alves & Langmuir, 2021; Bilodeau & Meissner, 2016).…”

“…Student counselling initiatives may play an important role in mediating the effects of these factors. Indeed, recent research has begun to provide evidence in support of their effectiveness for reducing psychological distress and positively impacting academic performance and retention (Antunes‐Alves & Langmuir, 2021; Biasi et al., 2017; Bilodeau & Meissner, 2016; McKenzie et al., 2015). While recent studies have begun to solidify the evidence for the effectiveness and importance of student counselling initiatives on student mental health and academic performance, studies have been limited to primarily pre‐ to post‐methodological designs and still little is known regarding the mechanisms by which these positive changes occur.…”

“…The effectiveness of a combined academic and personal counselling initiative, From Intention to Action (FITA), was investigated in previous studies of university‐level students at significant risk of dropping out (Antunes‐Alves & Langmuir, 2021; Bilodeau & Meissner, 2016). This programme is unique in its focus on the therapeutic relationship in delivering academic support and promoting psychological well‐being.…”

This study investigated the differential role of therapeutic alliance components in predicting mental health and academic performance outcomes of a combined academic and personal counselling initiative. The study also explored the role of pre‐treatment severity and gender in alliance formation, as well as the moderating role of personality on alliance‐outcome associations in at‐risk students at a Canadian University. Pre‐ and post‐measures of mental health (SF‐36 Mental Health Composite Summary) and academic performance (GPA) were obtained for 78 at‐risk students enrolled in the counselling initiative. Criteria for risk included academic struggles, struggles with mental health, or both. Personality and demographic variables were obtained prior to the start of counselling and strength of therapeutic alliance was measured between sessions 3 and 6. Results showed that while all of the alliance components significantly predicted increases in student GPA, the task subscale predicted increases in mental health. Personality type preference was not found to moderate these associations. Furthermore, gender and pre‐symptom severity were not related to early alliance formation. The findings support the importance of the therapeutic alliance across counselling contexts and suggest that relationship oriented counselling initiatives may support both academic performance as well as psychological well‐being in at‐risk students. Implications are discussed.

“…Doing so may open opportunities for all genders to have equitable experiences, develop wellrounded skill sets, and pursue interests that spark their passions as unique individuals. T he typical age range of college students (18-25) is when most individuals first experience distress due to a mental healthrelated concern (Antunes & Langmuir, 2021). In fact, almost 15-23% of college students with mental health problems have said their disorders have negatively impacted their academic performance (Bruffaerts et al, 2018).…”

Managing negative emotions is challenging even without the overlay of socially constructed gender role norms. We were curious about the effects of being confronted with shame on young men who either adhere strongly to traditional masculine gender roles norms or are nonconforming to these norms. We evaluated the shame responses of college men (N = 23), using the Thurston-Craddock Test of Shame (TCTS; Thurston & Craddock, 1998) as our stimulus while measuring physiological and verbal responses. Men in the traditional masculinity norms conforming group scored significantly higher (p = .001, η2 = .58) on 7 of the 11 subscales from the Conformity to Masculine Norms Inventory (CMNI; Mahalik et al., 2003) than men in the nonconforming group. When presented with shame-based stimuli, we found differences in heart rate variability depending on the level of overt shame in the stimulus with the two groups, p = .038, η2 = .12. The use of aggressive language when confronted with overt examples of shame was not different for our comparison groups. Our results indicate that men who adhere to traditional masculine norms hold different values for interacting with women, physical confrontation, and being in control of situations and others than men who have not internalized the traditional values of American masculinity. Understanding the continuum of values and responses to difficult emotions continues to be a valuable area to study.

“…In most colleges and universities, the way to study and judge the psychological state of college students is still relatively traditional, lacking efficiency and accuracy (Antunes-Alves et al, 2021). The traditional psychological intervention methods mostly adopt a psychological questionnaire screening, lectures and post psychological treatments.…”

In recent years, the psychological problems of college students could not be ignored, as they have seriously affected the growth of students and the normal teaching order of colleges and universities. However, there exists a strong noise in college students' psychological sample data set and a strong correlation between its data. Aiming to solve this problem, this paper proposes a psychological crisis warning method for college students based on big data mining and structural equation model (SEM). This method is oriented to massive user data in social networks. Particle swarm optimization is introduced to improve the random forest algorithm, and the original data is labeled to alleviate the impact of data noise on the recognition accuracy. The simulation example comes from an efficient actual data set in the southern China. The experimental results show that the proposed method can achieve an efficient analysis of actual complex data, and can provide reliable psychological auxiliary diagnosis for practitioners.
