Analysis of Personality, Suicide, and Self ‐Injury in Emerging Adulthood
Nonsuicidal self ‐injury (NSSI) is a maladaptive coping strategy that is of significant clinical concern for behavioral health professionals in college settings. Relationships between NSSI, acquired capability for suicide, interpersonal cognitions, and five‐factor model personality traits were assessed in a surv ey‐based study that included 192 young adults in a college setting. Results indicated that those with an affirmative suicide attempt history, greater acquired capability for suicide, and elevated neuroticism had an increased likelihood of lifetime NSSI.

Cumulative Trauma Exposure and Mindfulness in College Students
The authors evaluated the cumulative effects of multiple trauma exposure and examined discrete mindfulness facets concerning trauma ‐related outcomes among undergraduate students (N = 157). By using self ‐report questionnaires, the authors found that higher trauma exposure was associated with more severe trauma symptomatology and psychological distress as well as lower quality of life. Furthermore, 4 mindfulness facets differentially predicted trauma outcomes. The authors discuss implications for college counseling counselors and researchers. (Source: Journal of College Counseling)

College Counselors' Perceptions of Working With First ‐Year Students With Chronic Illnesses
Despite increased interest in college students' success, there has been little research regarding students entering college with chronic illnesses such as asthma, diabetes, and cancer. This qualitative study examined 15 college counselors' perceptions of working with first ‐year students with chronic illnesses. Four themes emerged from the findings: counseling preparation, interactions, counseling interventions, and needs of students. The authors discuss implications for college counseling training and practice and directions for future research. (Source: Journal of College Counseling)

Self ‐Compassion, Trait Resilience, and Trauma Exposure in Undergraduate Students
The authors investigated the relationship between self ‐compassion and trait resilience and tested the potential moderating roles of these variables in the relationship between trauma exposure and general psychological distress in a sample of undergraduate students (N = 296). Results revealed a significant relationship between self ‐compassion and trait resilience. Self‐compassion emerged as a significant moderator in this relationship, whereas trait resilience did not. Given high rates of trauma exposure in college student populations, implications for counseling are discussed. (Source: Journal of College Counseling)

The Influence of Stigma on College Students' Attitudes Toward Online Video Counseling and Face ‐to‐Face Counseling
The difference in attitudes toward online video counseling and face ‐to‐face counseling and the relationship between stigma and these attitudes were investigated among a sample of 588 college students. Attitudes toward face‐to‐face counseling are more favorable compared with those toward online video counseling. However, self‐stigma does not influence atti tudes toward online video counseling to the same extent as face‐to‐face counseling. Services delivered through online video counseling may be beneficial for those experiencing higher levels of stigma. (Source: Journal of College Counseling)
