The Relationship Between Problem Disclosure and Rate of Default Among Community College Students

This study explored the relationship between personal problem disclosure and default among community college students. A further examination was made considering the disclosing and defaulting behavior of the two largest categories of community college students: full-time, traditional age students and part-time adult students. Disclosure was defined as any personal information which an individual chooses to communicate to another person. Defaulting is the failure to complete a course or set of courses for which a student has enrolled. A questionnaire was designed and administered within a classroom setting to sample actual problem disclosure, awareness of related college assistance opportunities and past assistance attempts.
