A Pilot Project on College Students' Satisfaction and Self-Concept

Abstract

This study examined correlations between measures of 137 students' self-concepts and their satisfaction with adjusting to college. The Satisfaction with College Questionnaire was designed to assess quantitatively students' satisfaction with social and academic adjustment. Analyses indicated that a number of self-concept dimensions were significantly correlated with scores on satisfaction. Researchers must focus on refining the questionnaire and examining its relation to outcome variables such as self-concept, attrition, grade point average, and motivation.

Perceived Incompetence Moderates the Relationship Between Maladaptive Perfectionism and Disordered Eating

“…In the present study, the total score for perceived incompetence was comprised of subscales that had been found to (a) have statistically significant relationships with disordered eating in women, as measured in a previous study of the relationship between SPP-CS subscales and disordered eating (Ferrier & Martens, 2008), and (b) have strong predictive validity in other studies of psychological constructs such as measures of satisfaction, apprehension, and adjustment to college (Boulter, 2002;Cosden & McNamara, 1997;Crocker & Ellsworth, 1990;Harter, 1990;Onwuegbuzie, 1999;Onwuegbuzie & Daley, 1998;Panori, Wong, Kennedy, & King, 1995). Subscales that met these criteria and were included in the total score of perceived incompetence were Appearance, Social Acceptance, Morality, Romantic Relationships, Close Friendships, and Intellectual Ability.…”

Psychosocial Factors Predicting First-Year College Student Success

“…In addition, some large-scale studies of student outcomes have made use of broader definitions of student success that include student satisfaction (e.g., Kuh, Cruce, Shoup, Kinzie, & Gonyea, 2008). We followed the tradition of a number of studies in considering satisfaction an important outcome of higher education (e.g., Beltyukova, Stone, & Fox, 2004;DeWitz, & Walsh, 2002;Panori, Wong, Kennedy, & King, 1995). Goodboy and Myers (2008) found that a variety of student factors are associated with student satisfaction as a learning outcome.…”

The Hierarchical Linear Relationship of individual and College Variables with Career Aspiration of Junior College Students

“…또한 전문대 학생들의 높은 학습결손도는 낮은 학습능력으로 이어지며, 낮은 학업성취수 준은 자기주도적 학습능력 부족, 학습부적응, 무기력한 학교 생활 등을 야기한다 (황정훈, 2012). 이강우(2003) (Panori & Wong, 1995), 사회와의 관계형성은 전문대 학생들 의 자아존중감의 근원이 되어, 새로운 환경에 보다 잘 적응할 수 있는 기재로 작용한다 (Cosden & McNamara, 1997;Schlossberg, Lynch, & Chickering, 1989 강조하는 Ginzberg(1952) 와 Super(1963)의 진로발달이론을 통해 수정이 이루어졌다 (최진영, 이광호, 2012).…”
