Outline of Final Research Achievements

This study was conducted to clarify the influence of the development of student counseling and student support on the professional development of psychologists by focusing on student counseling in South Korea and Taiwan. From the results of the literature reviews, it was found that many studies focused on the cultural and social backgrounds of the countries, compared the influence of their own culture with that of foreign countries, and modified the findings of Western studies to suit their own countries in both countries. Furthermore, interviews were conducted at student counseling centers in both countries to complement the findings of the literature reviews and to confirm the actual conditions of student counseling. The results suggest that the development of student counseling and student support in both countries is deeply related to the professional development of psychologists.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

本研究の意義は，歴史的・文化的に関連が深いにもかかわらず，学生相談領域において，これまで重視されてこなかった韓国および台湾に焦点を当て，学生相談の発展が心理専門職の専門性養成に与えた影響について知見を得たことにある。従来，日本における学生相談領域の研究は，学生相談の歴史やその発展経緯が日本とは大きく異なる西欧，特にアメリカの学生相談をもとにするものが大半であった。今後，日本における学生相談の発展や心理専門職の専門性養成を考える場合，東アジア地域との比較はもとより，これまで着目されてこなかった国々との比較検討を積極的に行うことの必要性を指摘したことが本研究の意義といえる。
