Abstract
The effect of a combined counselor-teacher role upon students’ willingness to seek help for bullying was studied. Using a field experimental design, 152 paired samples (62 boys, 90 girls) of high school students (mean age 15.75 years, SD = 0.67) participated in the study. In each pair, the counselor served as a teacher and counselor for one student, and as a counselor only for the other. The findings demonstrate that when counselors serve as teachers, they form more positive relationships with students, they are more available to them, and students are more willing to seek help from them.
