AB - 250 undergraduates (18 Asian Americans, 116 Blacks, and 116 Whites) were asked to rank order 12 help givers for educational/vocational and emotional problems. Rankings of help sources under the 2 problem types did not differ significantly for the group as a whole or for any subgrouping by sex or ethnic group. Although none of the obtained differences between groups or problem type were significant, the directions of the small intergroup variations in help source rankings did support other studies' findings regarding Blacks and Asian Americans. Additionally, the total groups' rankings had implications for formal campus help-giving agencies in that students identified parents, nonstudent friends, relatives, and counseling centers as among the 5 most preferred help sources. Implications for refinements in such research are discussed. (23 ref)
