This book was released on 2012 with total page 47 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: Self-regulation, defined as the ability to flexibly modulate one's thoughts, feelings, and behaviors in the service of long-term adaptation, is an important predictor of psychological health. However, few studies have directly examined whether measures of self-regulation prospectively predict psychological outcomes in response to an environmental challenge. Moreover, the role of different indexes of self-regulation in this regard is relatively unclear. In the current study, we tested whether two different measures of self-regulation, heart rate variability (HRV) and self-reported effortful control, prospectively predicted levels of anxiety in college freshman adjusting to their first academic quarter of college. Participants (N = 52) reported levels of anxiety at three time points which approximated the start, middle, and end of the academic quarter. Consistent with our hypotheses, higher levels of HRV and inhibitory control, a facet of effortful control, independently predicted lower levels of anxiety at the end of the quarter, controlling for anxiety at the start of the quarter. Moreover, both of these measures appeared to moderate changes in anxiety across the assessment period. Individuals with high levels of either inhibitory control or HRV demonstrated a flexible and adaptive pattern of anxiety across the assessment period, while those low in both of these measures demonstrated a rigid, maladaptive pattern of anxiety. These findings provide support to the idea that self-regulation is important for psychological health because it allows individuals to adaptively modulate their behavior in order to meet the needs of a demanding situation. Additionally, we showed that it is important to consider both physiological (HRV) and psychological (effortful control) indexes of self-regulation when prospectively predicting psychological outcomes in response to challenge.

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.

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.

Download or read book Measuring Academic Self regulation College Adjustment and Academic Performance Within a First year Experience Program Using a Multi wave Quasi experimental Design written by Colleen J. Sullivan and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First-year students experience academic, social, and emotional adjustments as they transition to college. First-year experience courses support students in this transitional phase by helping them integrate into the campus environment and by teaching them college-appropriate learning strategies. This case study describes the process and challenges of conducting a multi-wave quasi-experimental assessment of self-regulation, college adjustment, and academic performance among first-year students. This research was a dissertation project designed to evaluate the impact of first-year experiences courses on students' educational outcomes. The online survey data collection was ideal for technology-savvy college students and also increased the challenge of attrition. Implications of the findings are valuable in the design of institutional programs and interventions to support college students.
Download or read book Role Models Possible Selves Perceived Self efficacy and Perceived Self control as Predictors of GPA in College Students written by Tesia T. Marshik and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ABSTRACT: Self-control predicts many important developmental outcomes including achievement, emotional stability, and successful social relationships. The potential for self-control to predict academic achievement in college students is particularly important because few good predictors of academic achievement in college students exist and college retention and graduation rates are decreasing. The purpose of the present study was to identify factors that predict self-control and GPA in college students. Participants included 163 undergraduate students at the University of Florida who completed take-home self-report questionnaires. A recursive path analysis was used to test a model relating students' role models, possible selves, perceived self-efficacy, perceived self-control skills, and GPA. Partial support for the model was found, as total role models predicted the number of balanced possible selves; the number of balanced possible selves predicted Delay of Gratification; perceived self-efficacy predicted perceived self-control; and Planful Thinking predicted GPA. These results are consistent with social cognitive theory, as role models influenced students' possible selves, which in turn influenced students' self-control skills and academic achievement. However, the lack of relationships among some of the variables indicates that more research is needed to examine the relationships among role models, possible selves, and self-control. In particular, researchers should use domain-specific measures of academic possible selves and academic self-control to predict students' academic achievement.

Book excerpt: This book highlights current knowledge, best practices, new opportunities, and difficult challenges associated with promoting emotional intelligence (EI) and social-emotional learning (SEL) in educational settings. The volume provides analyses of contemporary EI theories and measurement tools, common principles and barriers in effective EI and SEL programming, typical and atypical developmental considerations, and higher-level institutional and policy implications.
