Emerging adult self-perception and link with adjustment to academic context among Female College Students

Students and the City: Student Rental Behaviour During COVID-19 in the Example University Town

“…The same age range describes students -young people who have decided to pursue higher education. In regular times, without lockdowns and restrictions, it is described as "the age of possibilities" due to the uniqueness of this period: relative independence, self-exploration and experimentation (Chevrier et al, 2020). Emerging adults usually have at their disposal a small income received from parents/guardians, obtained in the form of a study or social grant, or earned from a job (often seasonal or casual, which does not interfere with the studies).…”

Ajustement psychologique en première année universitaire: Identification de profils longitudinaux en lien avec la satisfaction et la frustration des besoins psychologiques de base.

“…Plus spécifiquement, le contexte universitaire est propice à la centration sur soi (Schwartz, 2016), c'est pourquoi les adultes en émergence étudiants présentent significativement plus d'exploration identitaire que les non-étudiants (Crocetti et al, 2015). Ainsi, en première année universitaire, différents profils de perception de soi peuvent voir le jour (e.g., Chevrier et al, 2020). Cette diversité d'expression de soi souligne l'importance de l'estime de soi en contexte universitaire.…”

“…L’ajustement psychologique a été interrogé dans cette étude en considérant l’estime de soi et la symptomatologie dépressive. L’estime de soi a été investiguée par le biais de la dimension estime de soi globale du Self-Perception Profile for College Students (SPPCS; Chevrier et al, 2020; Neeman & Harter, 2012, pour la version française). Cette dimension se compose de six items.…”

Systematic Review: A Study of College Adjustment Among First-Year Undergraduates

“…Of the 18 studies reviewed, eight of these used a longitudinal design (Fernández et al, 2017;Heffer & Willoughby, 2017;Holt, 2014;Lindell et al, 2020;Meng et al, 2014;Nightingale et al, 2013;Park et al, 2011;Ranney & Troop-Gordon, 2012), and ten studies applied cross-sectional design (Bishop et al, 2019;Chevrier et al, 2020;Daniels et al, 2018;Katz & Somers, 2015;Lau et al, 2018;Morton et al, 2013;Nguyen et al, 2019;Rahat & ˙Ilhan, 2016;Rodrıguez et al, 2017;van Rooij et al, 2017).…”

“…In addition, Spanish society is more family-oriented and student autonomy is not a high priority (Arias & Hernández, 2007). Students in France are also dependent on their families (Chevrier et al, 2020), they still live at home with their parents, are less independent, and their relationship with their parents has not changed. For these reasons, both male and female students need to be socially involved on campus, build personal relationships, and develop institutional attachment, which will ultimately influence the adjustment process.…”
