| 实物特征: | This study reports on clinical and subclinical psychological symptoms, risk levels and psychological care requirements identified in psychology majors with low academic achievement at the Catholic Pontifical University of Ecuador (PUCESA) This study is used a non-experimental design which is quantitative in nature, descriptive, comparative and cross-sectional. A sample group of 92 students were selected specifically among students majoring in Clinical and Organizational Psychology. The Revised Symptom Checklist – 90-R (SCL 90-R) by Derogatis, Rickels and Rock (1976) was used to assess the sample group of 77.2% women and 22.8% men. Approximately 65.1% of the participants displayed low academic performance (academic conditioned) while 34.4 made up the control group of students (unconditioned) for a head-to-head comparison. Based on the results, the first academic conditioned group had a higher prevalence of obsessive-compulsive ideation and behaviors with symptoms of depression, somatization, anxiety, paranoid ideation and hostility, though to a lesser extent. While students in the second non-condition group had fewer obsessive-compulsive symptoms and low anxiety, they had higher rates of depression and hostility which did not, however, attain clinical levels. Although no significant differences were found with the control group, 19.1% were deemed to be at risk for developing psychological disorders due to their symptoms, while 3.5% required psychological counseling. |
