A Developmental Sequence Model to University Adjustment of International Undergraduate Students
- 1. York University, Canada
Description
The current study proposes a Developmental Sequence Model to University
Adjustment and uses a multifaceted measure, including academic, social
and psychological adjustment, to examine factors predictive of
undergraduate international student adjustment. A hierarchic regression
model is carried out on the Student Adaptation to College Questionnaire to
examine theoretically pertinent predictors arranged in a developmental
sequence in determining adjustment outcomes. This model accounted for
over 60% of the variance in adjustment scores, and highlighted the
importance of ecological factors in relation to student adjustment, such as
social support, relationship with parents, and perceived institutional
support as more useful than static measures of achievement such as high
school GPA. Implications of these findings, including the important role of
campus services, are discussed.
