| Abstract: | We explored college faculty members' perception of their supporting student's psychological well-being. College faculty members, being leaders in teaching their students, may perceive their responsibility of supporting their student's psychological well-being based on their current mindset, level of preparation, and challenges they face. Our literature search resulted in no studies focusing on college faculty members' perception of supporting their student's psychological well-being. Using a mixed-methods approach, we had 242 faculty members from postsecondary educational institutions complete a survey consisting of qualitative and quantitative items. The results indicated that participants' mindsets may influence how they perceive their responsibility in supporting students' psychological well-being and preparation and challenges faculty can limit faculty members' support for students' psychological well-being. |
