Description
This study examined relationships between well-being, adjustment to college, and satisfaction with choice of college and major in 126 undergraduates. Inattention, hyperactivity, anxiety, and depression were negatively associated with college satisfaction. As expected, appreciation of the liberal arts was positively correlated with satisfaction with college and choice of major. The results suggest that prospective students should consider whether their interests correspond with their college’s mission, and colleges should be prepared to meet students’ psychological needs.
