The data collected for the present study was analyzed by frequency analysis, reliability analysis, simple correlation coefficient, two-way ANOVA, multiple regression analysis, and SEM(structure equation model) by utilizing SAS and LISREL computer program.
The findings of the study can be summarized as follows.
First, the model that personal and familial resilience effects of clients' on college students counseling was identified. The personal resilience positively influenced on the client's perceived counseling effects. The familial didn't affect on them. The personal resilience was proved the most important factor to promote the effect of clients' in counseling.
Second, the client on the higher level of personal resilience than the client on lower level of personal resilience perceived the higher effects of counseling when he/she was influenced by risk factors. The other hands, the client on the lower level of familial resilience than the client on higher level of familial resilience perceived the higher effects of counseling when he/she was affected by risk factors.
Third, the higher fathers' academic backgrounds and the more intimate families, the higher the personal resilience was. The resilience of clients' and their parents having religion was higher than the resilience of clients and their parents who don't have religion. Familial resilience of the woman was higher than the man's. The higher parents' academic backgrounds, the more intimate families, and the higher SES, the higher the familial resilience was. The resilience of clients and their parents having religion was higher than the resilience of clients and their parents who don't have religion.
