Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: College Student Psychological Adjustment provides the reader an in-depth understanding of students’ relationship experiences in college and how those experiences shape their adjustment to college. Each chapter examines research on one key relationship in a student’s life to better understand how those relationships are re-worked during the college years and what factors help determine adaptive relational outcomes. Along the way, a number of controversial topics are considered from a scholarly perspective, including the effects of helicopter parenting on students’ development in college, the prevalence and problematic nature of the hook-up culture on college campuses today, and policies related to whether students should be randomly assigned to live with their first-year roommates or be allowed to choose their roommates, based on a matching system. Aimed at advanced students and scholars in the fields of psychology, human development, and higher education, readers of this book will gain a fresh perspective on the relationship development of college students and possible avenues for intervention to help students enhance their relationships skills and prevent development of mental health difficulties.

Download or read book Family Relationships and College Adjustment of First-generation College Students written by Deborah Ann Baker DeWall and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study explored the impact of family relationship dynamics on college student adjustment measures for 61 first-year first-generation college students. Students volunteered to complete a self-report questionnaire during their second semester of college, measuring psychological coping, family relationships, and academic, social, personal-emotional, and overall college adjustment. Actual student end-of-year and first-semester grade point average (GPA) and high school rank were also obtained. Hierarchical regression analysis results indicated that positive family relationship dynamics were predictive of positive personal-emotional college adjustment over and above that accounted for by prior academic achievement and psychological coping. However, the amount of additional explained variance was only 3%. Family relationship interaction was not associated with academic or social adjustment outcomes. Psychological coping provided a significant main effect, after partialing out prior achievement, for student social, academic, personal-emotional, and overall adjustment. Lower negative mood was associated with higher adjustment. Student prior academic achievement was also positively related to academic adjustment, overall adjustment and student end-of-year GPA. Both prior academic achievement and psychological coping explained a high percentage of the variance in adjustment outcomes for this study, showing the need to control for these variables in future college adjustment research. This research points to student mood and emotional coping as an important area of institutional intervention for first-year first-generation students following their first semester of college. Since psychological coping was found to provide a substantial amount of explained variance in college student adjustment, student academic support programs need to be designed to assist students in identifying current mood and level of functioning, individual coping resources, and ways of maintaining a positive attitude and self-image. An emphasis on affective coping skills, important relationship connections and activities that promote self-esteem and a sense of confidence will help students understand their college situation in a way that supports their ability to manage it successfully and accomplish their goals.

This book was released on 2016 with total page 657 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fifteen years ago, Jeffrey Jensen Arnett proposed emerging adulthood as a new life stage at ages 18-29, one distinct from both the adolescence that precedes it and the young adulthood that eventually follows. Rather than marrying and becoming parents in their early 20s, most people in developed countries now postpone these transitions until at least their late 20s, spending these years in self-focused explorations as they try out different possibilities in their education, careers, and relationships. Since Arnett proposed his theory of emerging adulthood in 2000, it has turned into a full-fledged academic field, and the ideas have been applied in practical areas as well, such as mental health and education. The Oxford Handbook of Emerging Adulthood brings together for the first time the wealth of theory and research that has developed in this new and burgeoning field. It includes chapters by many prominent scholars on a wide range of topics, such as brain development, relations with friends, relations with parents, expectations for marriage, sexual relationships, media use, substance use and abuse, and resilience. The chapters both summarize the existing research and point the way to new prospects for research in the years to come.

Download or read book Family-Peer Relationships written by Ross D. Parke and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-03-10 with total page 508 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 1992, this volume provided an up-to-date overview of recent research concerning the links between family and peer systems. Considerable work in the past had focused on family issues or peer relationships, but these systems had typically been considered separately. This volume bridges the gap across these two important socialization contexts and provides insights into the processes that account for the links across the systems – the ways in which the relationships between these systems shift across development. In addition, the variations in the links between family and peers are illustrated by cross-cultural work, studies of abused children, and research on the impact of maternal depression. In short, the volume provides not only a convenient overview of recent progress at the time but lays out an agenda for future research.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume brings together an impressive array of respected scholars to examine the varied and complex ways in which peers influence adolescents’ beliefs and behaviors in the school context. The breadth of peer influence on academic and social adjustment is evident in the wide variety of topics covered in the present volume. Throughout the chapters, scholars provide unique insights regarding the complex ways that the academic and social spheres of adolescents’ lives are interconnected. Collectively, the chapters in this volume expand current knowledge and theory in peer relations research by (a) exploring different types of peer relations (e.g., close friendships, peer groups) and different peer dynamics (e.g., popularity, bullying) that emerge in the school context, (b) examining different processes that explain why and how peers influence each other in school, (c) considering developmental issues during adolescence that may be critical to understanding peers and adjustment at school and (d) providing information about how teacher practices or programs influence peer relations and school adjustment. Peer Relationships and Adjustment in School is an important volume for researchers and practitioners interested in social development, peer relationships and youth engagement and achievement in school.

Download or read book The Role of Roommate Relationships and Family of Origin Functioning in Students' Mental Health and College Adjustment Outcomes written by Sarah Elizabeth Erb and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 77 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For college students in the emerging adulthood developmental stage, interpersonal relationships in general, and roommate relationships specifically, affect important mental health outcomes. However, previous roommate relationship studies often have small sample sizes, do not take into account roommates' interdependence, or use outdated analyses. The current study tests an empirical conceptualization of the role of roommate relationships on college student mental health and adjustment to college by drawing upon family systems theory. Data were collected from 104 pairs of college student roommates and analyzed in an actor-partner interdependence model using structural equation modeling. Results support actor effect hypotheses that students' perceptions of dysfunction in their roommate relationships are significantly associated with their adjustment to college and with their negative emotional symptoms. However, results do not support an association between family of origin dysfunction and roommate relationship dysfunction. Likewise, partner effects and mediational hypotheses were nonsignificant. Instead, this study suggests that family of origin dysfunction and roommate relationship dysfunction have an additive effect on adjustment to college and negative emotional symptoms. This study concludes with a discussion of implications for future research, clinical applications, and Student Affairs practice.

This book was released on 2018 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study examined the effects of family cohesion and relationship maintenance behaviors on students' experience of stress during the adjustment to college. One hundred and ninety-eight first-year college students completed measures assessing family cohesion; relationship maintenance behaviors expressed within their family systems; and academic, social, and personal-emotional stress. Results indicated that family cohesion is significantly and negatively related to students' experiences of academic, social, and personal-emotional stress. Further, hierarchical regression and structural equation modeling provided insight to the additive influence of relationship maintenance behaviors on student stress. Analyses provided limited support for a mediation model, however, results demonstrated the importance of both family cohesion and relationship maintenance behaviors on academic, social, and personal-emotional stress during students' transitions to college.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: College Student Psychological Adjustment: Theory, Methods, and Statistical Trends introduces the reader to the college adjustment process, highlighting the many challenges facing college students today. The four chapters review recent trends in college attendance and mental and physical health problems of college students, classic and contemporary theories of college student development (such as Chickering’s seven vectors of development), and techniques for studying student adjustment, targeting five domains of adjustment most relevant to college students. The final chapter provides an overview of the unique adjustment challenges of ethnic minority students adjusting to predominantly white colleges as well as the adjustment process for minority students attending historically black colleges and universities. This book is aimed at advanced undergraduates, graduate students, and scholars in the fields of psychology, human development, and higher education who are interested in understanding the process of college adjustment. It is also an excellent starting point for scholars who may wish to design their own study of college students and their adjustment challenges.
