“…Sin ce social skills are basic elements for interpersonal relationships (Del Prette & Del Prette, 2001a) and relationship problems (Castro & Teixeira, 2013;Pascua-Cantarero, 2016) and social integration diffi culties (Pascua-Cantarero, 2016) may aggravate dissatisfaction with the college experience and lead to increased student drop-out, it is believed that the participants in this study who exhibited a good, below-the-median and a defi cient repertoire of social skills might possibly be indicated for Social Skills Training (THS) programs, once their specifi c defi cits have been assessed. THS has been documented as an eff ective alternative for the interpersonal development of college students (Lima & Soares, 2015;Lopes, Dascanio, Ferreira, Del Prette, & Del Prette, 2017) and so it could reduce dropout rates in higher education, since a wellprepared repertoire of social skills can facilitate college students' adaptation to higher education (Soares, Francischetto, Peçanha, Miranda, & Dutra, 2013;Soares et al, 2017).…”

Possessing a good repertoire of interpersonal skills and a good performance when speaking in public can be considered indispensable for the social and academic adaptation of college students. The aim was to characterize and compare the social skills repertoire of college students from diff erent fi elds of study (the human, exact and biological sciences) and from diff erent higher education institutions (public and private), and to investigate the associations between these abilities and their self-assessment about speaking in public. A total of 818 college students took part, who answered the Social Skills Inventory (IHS-Del-Prette), Self-Statements During Public Speaking Scale and a Socio-demographic and Occupational Questionnaire. The groups did not diff er signifi cantly in relation to their social skills' repertoire, with most of the participants (n = 432) having a below-average repertoire of abilities when compared to the normative group of the instrument. It was found that male college students and those who had a partner, a job or their own income, and direct contact with the public gave more positive self-assessments about speaking in public. The skills' classes of self-exposure to strangers and new situations, self-confi dence in expressing positive feelings, conversation and social resourcefulness, selfcontrol of aggressivity, and coping and self-confi dence with risk, and having a vocational course were the variables that predicted a more positive self-assessment by college students about speaking in public.

“…The increase in the number of students enrolled in HEIs has stimulated research that investigates how students experience academic life (Andrade et al 2017;Castro and Teixeira 2013;Soares et al 2013). Entrance to the university leads students to face factors that emerge from a new context: more complex activities, different schedules, more distant teachers, and the need to make friends with strangers are some of the obstacles that they have to learn how to deal with (Soares et al 2014).…”

The objective of this study was to verify the psychometric properties of the Satisfaction Scale with Social Support and the Adaptation to Higher Education Questionnaire with scores of Brazilian university students. The participants were 300 students from various courses and periods, 150 of public universities and 150 of private universities. The collected data were examined in the structural equation modeling environment, submitted to confirmatory factor analysis, multi-group confirmatory factor analysis, and multivariate multiple linear regression analysis. The results indicated a very good fit for the re-specified model of Satisfaction with Social Support and invariance between groups of public and private institutions. The Satisfaction Scale with Social Suport examination revealed strong evidence of validity and reliability for the measure, corroborating previous studies. The re-specified model of academic adaptation presented an adjustment that ranged from poor to good. The current analysis of the Adaptation to Higher Education Questionnaire recommends that future tests with larger samples be performed to confirm their factorial structure. In the multivariate regression, small predictor relationships were revealed between some dimensions of social support and academic adaptation. However, the result of this type of test is strongly dependent on the consistency of the measures involved.
