“…The cluster analysis and supporting interview data suggest the possibility of a differential approach to treating underachievers in accord with some recent counseling studies (Brown, 1969;Chestnut & Gilbreath, 1969;Mandel, Roth, & Berenbaum, 1968;Roth et al, 1967). The interview data suggest the possibility that the conservative Ul's might be attracted toi skill-improvement oriented programs while the U2's would find attractive groups dealing directly with identity issues.…”

“…Thus, a plethora of studies correlate some trait-impulsivity, independence, for example--with underachievement without any attempt to see whether a combination of these traits makes sense in an actual individual (Lavin, 1965). More recently, successful attempts have been made at differentiating underachievers using various multivariate techniques (Kisch, 1968;Middleton & Guthrie, 1959), and several counselors have described treatment programs that take differences into account (Brown, 1969;Chestnut & Gilbreath, 1969;Gilbreath, 1968;Mandel, Roth, & Berenbaum, 1968;Roth et al, 1967).…”

often are difficult clients for counselors because of their impulsivity and because different kinds of students are categorized as such. Twenty-three sophomore male college Underachievers, control groups of overachievers, and normal achievers were given biweekly interviews. The results supported the hypothesis that Underachievers would be significantly more likely to report and display "irresponsible" behaviors arising from impulsivity and anxiety over achievement in work situations. Cluster analyses of Subjects' scores on the Omnibus Personality Inventory and Opinion, Attitude, and Interest Survey, together with interview data, suggest the possibility for both treatment and conceptual purposes of a subgroup approach to underachievement.1 This article is based on the author's doctoral dissertation at the University of Michigan under the direction of Morton H.

This review presents findings of 31 treatment studies of college underachievers and bright failing underachievers separately, with the purposes of (a) evaluating the effects of group treatments on the academic performance of these students and (fa) isolating from the data variables related to improved academic performance. Variables from the following categories were examined: counselor experience, treatment type, treatment duration and structure, treatment targets, and client motivation. The findings indicate that success rates were low and few clear relationships emerged between isolated variables and improvement in academic performance. Implications for future research and practical suggestions for the counselor are discussed.
