| Abstract | This study explored factors related to college adjustment in nonresidential first-year students. It was hypothesized that stress, family functioning, and coping strategies would predict academic, personal-emotional, and social adjustment in addition to institutional attachment. The sample comprised 167 first-year college students (ages 18-23) recruited from the departments of psychology at two large, urban commuter colleges in the Northeast. Results revealed that balanced family functioning was associated with low levels of perceived stress and specific coping strategies, mainly strategies that were problem-focused. Academic adjustment, social adjustment, personal-emotional adjustment, and institutional attachment were predicted by stress, family functioning, and specific coping strategies. Spiritual support and problem solving were found to predict subtypes of adjustment above and beyond other factors. Implications for personnel working with first-year college students, such as mental health counselors, are provided as well as directions for future research. (As Provided). |
