This study examined differences in wellness reported by traditional‐ and nontraditional‐age students as measured by the Wellness Evaluation of Lifestyle (J. E. Myers, T. J. Sweeney, & J. M. Witmer, 1998). Differences were found between the 2 age groups on 4 self‐regulation dimensions: realistic beliefs, sense of control, exercise, and self‐care. Implications for counseling practice and suggestions for future research are discussed.
