CORRELATES OF ADJUSTMENT TO THE UNIVERSITY AMONGST FIRST-YEAR STUDENTS

Summary/Abstract: Two investigations were carried out on a sample of students attending the Faculty of Philosophy in Zadar: one at the beginning of the study period and the other after the freshman year. The purpose of the investigation was to establish whether the styles of coping measured by Encler's and Parker's CISS questionnaire are stable dispositions and to see how they connect with indicators of positive and negative adjustment to being a student and with pri orly identified individual and environmental predictors of adjustment. Results confirm the stability of three styles of coping: problem-focused coping strategies, emotion-focused and avoidance coping strategies. Amongst these the most stable strategy is the emotion-focused one. It was shown that none of the styles of coping was connected with the indicator of positive adjustment to study, that is, with satisfaction regarding educational success during the freshman year.
