▼ Problem . Research investigating the relationship between loneliness and various dimensions of Internet use is mixed. While some studies support the connection, other studies refute the link. More analysis in this area is needed to help clinicians, parents, college students, school counselors, and educators better understand the effects of the Internet on college-age students. This study attempts to expand understanding of the conflictual relationship that exists between loneliness and the dynamics of Internet use in undergraduate students.
Method . Four-hundred sixty-six randomly selected
Andrews University undergraduate students who lived in residence halls,
university apartments, and the community completed the UCLA Loneliness Scale (Version 3) and the Internet Use Survey, a questionnaire developed by the researcher. Demographic information was also collected. Analysis of variance, multiple regression, and correlational analyses were performed to test the hypotheses of the study.
Results . Overall, results indicate the Internet does not seem to be influencing the loneliness levels in undergraduate students. Specifically, the amount of Internet use, type of Internet use, history of Internet use, reasons for using the Internet, preference for the Internet as a mode of communication, preference for type of Internet activity, and the changes in face-to-face interaction, talking on the phone, and overall communicating with family, friends, and others (besides family and friends) since using the Internet have a minimal effect on the loneliness experienced in undergraduate students.
Conclusions . In this study, Internet use does not contribute to loneliness among undergraduates using the Internet less than 40 hours per week. For most, use of the Internet is both highly enjoyable and useful.Loneliness is more prevalent in the few who use the Internet more than 40 hours per week and in those who prefer the Internet over face-to-face interaction or talking on the phone. Results showed an inverse relationship between loneliness and the number of years a student had used the Internet. Newer users are at a slightly higher risk of experiencing loneliness than those with a longer history of Internet use. Previous research has questioned the importance of Internet use as a contributing factor in loneliness. In this study, the empirical findings regarding the overall relationships of loneliness and Internet use were weak.

▼ Problem. Students have an opportunity for personal growth as they learn about themselves and the world around them. However, their levels of self-concept and depression can influence how they view' themselves, their relationships, and their world. This research compared undergraduate and graduate students with respect to their levels of self-concept and depression.
Method. A quantitative research design was used for an ex post facto study of 239 students from
Andrews University and Western Michigan
University. They completed the Demographic Questionnaire, the Tennessee Self-Concept Scale: Second Edition (TSCS:2), and the Beck Depression Inventory-II (BDI-II).
Results. Using 13 as the B D I-II cut score, the prevalence of depression found for undergraduate and graduate students combined was as follows: a total of 197 (82.4%) were nondepressed, a total of 21 (8.8%) demonstrated mild depressive symptoms, a total of 13 (5.4%) demonstrated moderate depressive symptoms, and a total of 8 (3.3%) demonstrated severe depressive symptoms. The results indicated that undergraduate students demonstrated higher mean depression scores than the graduate students. However, there were no significant differences found between the proportion of undergraduate and graduate students in each BDI-II group. There were no significant differences found in the level of self-concept between undergraduate and graduate students. There were significant differences found between the self-concept of students at different depression groups. For Identity Self-Concept only, the relationship between self-concept and depression was different for undergraduate and graduate students.
Conclusions. Although the majority of the participants were nondepressed, undergraduate students demonstrated higher mean depression scores than graduate students. Undergraduate and graduate students did not differ in their level of self-concept. There were significant differences found between the self-concept of students at different depression groups. In general, when undergraduate and graduate students were nondepressed or the less depressed they were, then the better they felt about themselves. Conversely, the more depressed they were, then the worse they felt about themselves. The relationship between self-concept and depression was different for undergraduate and graduate students for Identity Self-Concept only. The results of this study suggested that therapeutic goals for students with symptoms of depression, undergraduate or graduate, would be similar.

▼ Problem. Few studies have addressed burnout among Seventh-day Adventist (SDA) clergy. Many SDA ministers report experiencing high stress in their ministries and they find it difficult to function optimally under these circumstances. Others experience serious complications that lead them to terminate their work as ministers.
Method. A quantitative research design was used for an ex post facto study of 130 pastors from the Pacific Union Conference. They completed two questionnaires: the Pastoral Services Demographic Data Sheet (PSDDS) and the Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI).
Results. This study examined 12 variables and found that 10 variables had a significant relationship to at least one of the three subscales of the burnout inventory. Four clusters of variables were found that would lead one to be more prone to burnout. According to the study, 13.9% of the pastors in the study were experiencing average to high levels of burnout.
Conclusions. This study found the following for the Emotional Exhaustion subscale: 18 out of 130, or 13.9%, scored in the high degree of burnout range on Emotional Exhaustion; 34 out of 130, or 26.1%, scored in the average or moderate degree of burnout range; and 78 out of 130, or 60%, scored in the low range for burnout. The results for the Depersonalization subscale were as follows: 13 or 10% were in the high degree of the burnout range; 30 respondents or 23.1% were in the average or moderate range for burnout; and 87 or 67% were in the low range for burnout. The results for the Personal Accomplishment subscale, based only on low and high, found that 81 respondents or 62% scored in the low range for burnout and 49 or 38% scored in the high degree of burnout range.

▼ Problem. Robert Burns, author of the Kinetic-Family- Drawing, - has devised a projective test called the Kinetic-House-Tree-Person drawing. He has taken the House-Tree-Person projective technique and changed the instructions to include all of the figures on one page and also to include an action. In Burns's book on the K-H-T-P he claimed that his drawing gives a better clinical picture of the subject than the H-T-P. However, there is no research that compares the two tests for clinical information.
Method. The H-T-P and K-H-T-P were administered to 204 college students 18 years of age and older. These students came from one
university in Michigan and one in Illinois. They were a non-clinical sample, meaning that they were not in therapy. Emotional indicators were extracted from the drawings, and then the indicators were analyzed using the Chi Square statistic called the McNemar test.
Results. There were 499 different emotional indicators found on the drawings, and 108 indicators were found to be significant. There were 74 indicators that were found significantly more often on the H-T-P than on the K-H-T-P. There were 34 indicators that were found significantly more often on the K-H-T-P than on the H-T-P. The H-T-P had indicators in the categories of general drawing characteristic, house, tree, and person. The K-H-T-P had indicators in all of those categories and also in actions, styles, and symbols. The H-T-P had more than twice as many indicators as the K-H-T-P. The category that had the most indicators for both tests was the house, with 56% of the indicators on the H-T-P and 32% on the K-H-T-P.
Conclusions. The H-T-P and K-H-T-P differ in the emotional indicators that are evoked from the drawings. With the H-T-P having more than twice as many indicators as the K-H-T-P, it is shown to be a stronger projective technique in eliciting information about the subject. Although similar in name, the tests are not interchangeable. Each test has been shown to have merit, and they could both be used in a psychological assessment battery to add the most amount of information to the clinical picture.
