Analysis of role adaptation and associated factors among college freshmen
Objective To explore the influencing factors of role adaptation of college freshmen,so as to provide empirical sup-port for developing adaptive education in college.Methods A cluster sampling method was used to select 3 126 freshmen from six universities of Hefei City and Wuhu City in Anhui Province in October 2022,who were investigated with Positive Psychological Capital Questionnaire(PPQ),Freshmen's Role Adaptability Scale,Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale(CD-RISC)and Life Satis-faction Scale.Independent sample t-test and one-way ANOVA were used to compare the scores(caverage score of items)of various variables of college freshmen with different demographic characteristics.Pearson correlation analysis and multiple linear regression analysis were conducted to analyze the correlation.Results There were statistically significant differences in scores of psychological capital,resilience,life satisfaction and role adaptation among college freshmen of different origin(large and medium-sized cities:3.63±0.54,3.73±0.64,3.47±0.80,3.14±0.65;county level city or county seat:3.57±0.52,3.61±0.63,3.35±0.75,3.09±0.63;villa-ges and towns:3.50±0.50,3.54±0.58,3.23±0.75,3.06±0.60),whether in class committee(yes:3.63±0.52,3.69±0.60,3.40± 0.76,3.18±0.59;no:3.43±0.50,3.48±0.64,3.25±0.77,2.93±0.65),father's education level(junior high school or below:3.52± 0.51,3.57±0.61,3.27±0.75,3.07±0.61;senior high school or technical secondary school:3.62±0.53,3.68±0.63,3.44±0.78,3.12± 0.63;junior college or above:3.68±0.56,3.78±0.64,3.57±0.80,3.19±0.68),mother's education level(junior high school or below:3.53±0.51,3.58±0.61,3.28±0.75,3.06±0.60;senior high school or technical secondary school:3.63±0.55,3.70±0.63,3.48±0.78,3.15±0.66;junior college or above:3.72±0.54,3.86±0.65,3.62±0.83,3.27±0.70)(F/t=11.89,21.89,23.02,3.83;10.08,9.20,5.20,10.63;19.34,20.76,29.52,6.44;22.51,26.79,30.94,13.92,P＜0.05).The differences of scores in resilience and role adapta-tion of different genders(boys:3.66±0.64,3.12±0.65;girls:3.56±0.59,3.05±0.58)and in life satisfaction whether being an only child(yes:3.40±0.79;no:3.33±0.76)among college freshmen were statistically significant(t=4.51,2.75,2.35,P＜0.05).Pear-son correlation analysis showed that psychological capital,resilience and life satisfaction of college freshmen were positively correla-ted with role adaptation(r=0.49,0.49,0.36),while psychological capital,resilience and role adaptation were positively correlated(r=0.60,0.59)and Psychological capital was positively correlated with resistance(r=0.81)(P＜0.01).The results of multiple lin-ear regression analysis showed that gender,whether in class committee,psychological capital,resilience and life satisfaction were positively associated with role adaptation among college freshmen(R2=0.28,β=0.04,0.10,0.23,0.26,0.07,P＜0.05).Conclu-sions Role adaptation of college freshmen is related with psychological capital,resilience and life satisfaction.Schools should strengthen mental health education to promote smooth role transition for college freshmen.
