“…Other studies showed that men obtained better results than women in financial knowledge (Falahati, Paim, 2011;Khurshed, Iftikhar, 2014;Yaringaño, 2018). Regarding financial perception, men came out better than women (Yasar, Turğut, 2020). Recently, in the work of Happ, Hahn, Jang and Rüter (2022), which they carried out in Germany, they found a gender difference, but not in Korea, whose results were different.…”

Much of modern education has focused on developing individuals’ skills to be productive parts of society. The developed skills can become enablers of financial stability, independence and economic security. Yet, on a relative basis, considerably less effort is expended on building the financial skills for individuals to preserve their wealth and assets. As a result, for certain consumer segments, lack of financial education can become a source of hardship. In this study, we use data from the U.S. Financial Industry Regulatory Authority’s (FINRA) 2021 National Financial Capability Study. The correlation between financial literacy and long-term financial behaviors is empirically examined and further dissected by gender and income, to identify population segments who may be vulnerable due to lack of adequate financial education. Significant patterns of financial literacy scores are identified, highlighting the need to enhance financial education offerings to vulnerable consumer segments.

“…The tertiary education years are characterized by many potential stressors, such as housing conditions and financial problems (Flett et al, 2009;Tosevski et al, 2010;Yasar and Turgut, 2020), and, for many students, this is their first experience away from their family, which may make adapting to a new social context even more difficult (Monti et al, 2013). Moreover, students often have to face increased study demands, and, therein, a greater pressure to succeed, feelings of inadequacy, competition with peers, and insecurity about the future (Macaskill, 2013;Kreß et al, 2015).…”

Student Counseling Centers in Europe: A Retrospective Analysis

et al. 2022

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

ObjectiveTertiary education can be stressful for many young people, who consistently report high levels of distress. The issue has major implications for campus health services and mental health policymaking more widely. The present study proposes to map student counseling services in Europe.MethodsThe sample of institutions was sourced, using standardized data extraction, from the European Tertiary Education Register (ETER). Then, each institution’s website was analyzed for information about the availability of student counseling centers and the services provided. Data extracted from the ETER database were: ETER ID, national identifier, institution name, English institution name, number of students, legal status (in English), institution category (in English), and institutional website. Data extracted from institutions’ websites concerned the availability of students’ psychological centers and the services provided. Analyses were carried out using the SPSS Statistics software package (IBM Corp., Armonk, NY, United States), version 26.ResultsOverall, it was found that most institutions do not provide mental health counseling services for their students. Institutions of medium dimensions showed a higher probability of reporting students’ psychological centers than small institutions. Moreover, private institutions and public institutions were more likely to report having such centers, while private government-dependent institutions were less likely. Universities of applied sciences and universities were more likely to report having them, while other institutions were less likely. Regarding provision according to geographic area, compared to Northern Europe, every other European region was less likely to report featuring such centers. Most institutions reported offering counseling, career counseling, or not otherwise specified psychological services, but only a small number reported providing services such as psychotherapy, psychiatric services, or counseling for learning-specific disabilities.ConclusionIt is critically important to catalog European data on student counseling centers and services, to encourage tertiary education institutions to invest in such services as key sites for mental health promotion. Indeed, professionally trained staff and the possibility of long-term treatment options would go a long way in supporting students who might not otherwise have access to treatment.
