Abstract:

The purpose of this research is to study the level of life and behavior change that consultants have shown at the end of the psychological consultation process according to the level of social support, gender, the number of sessions they have attended, and the ways of solving problems that consultants perceive. Research is an imaginary field research. The sample of the study consists of 200 psychological consultants who are studying in the RPD bachelor’s program at 12 large and medium-scale public universities. The study used information letters with the Multi-Dimensional Detected Social Support Scale, Problem Solving Reserve, Life and Behavior Change Scale (YADA) and the Informed Approval Form prepared by the researcher as a data collection tool. Multi-linear hierarchical regression analysis has been conducted to study whether the levels of change in the lives and behaviors of consultants are based on the variables in the number of sessions, gender, social support and problem-solving skills in which consultants participate. In view of the findings of the study, it was found that the gender of consultants, the levels of social support they perceive, and the number of sessions they participate, were irrelevant to the level of life and behavior change they perceive in the process of psychological consultation. Consultants have found it statistically irrelevant to score in hurry problem solving, escaping problem solving, assessment problem solving, self-safe problem solving, planned problem solving style points, life and behavior change level points. There was no meaningful relationship between the ways of solving this problem and the level of life and behavior change that consultants perceived. It has been found that there is a meaningful and negative relationship between the thinking style of consultants and the problem skill they perceive and the level of behavior change.
