“…And it is correlated with both preparing behavior and hunting behavior, which was suggested to positively influence the result of hunting, whereas preventive coping only correlated with preparing behavior. The findings were consistent with Gan et al (2007), who found that proactive coping, compared with preventative coping, had a significantly larger effect on student engagement and freshmen adjustment (Gan, Hu, & Zhang, 2010). However, Hypothesis 3, which proposed that both preventive coping and proactive coping were related to challenge appraisal, was not proved, which provoked us to reconsider the relationship between proactive coping and preventive coping.…”

“…Stress did not significantly predict educational adjustment; thus, low levels of stress were not positively related to better levels of adjustment. The results appear to be counterintuitive to those of Gan, Hu, and Zhang (2010), and Misra and Castillo (2004) who found that the first year of university was a stressful time due to the new educational and social challenges which students encounter.…”

“…For many students, successful separation from parents and family and the establishment of emotional independence have a positive influence on educational adjustment (Lapsley, Rice, & Shadid, 1989;Hoffman, 1984). How they adjust to and cope with the educational and extracurricular demands of university life, including new and different responsibilities and challenges, is a critical factor in their academic success (Gan, Hu, & Zhang, 2010).…”

Drawing on disparate research into factors influencing educational adjustment, this study examined the relative influence of English language proficiency, English language self-efficacy, foreign language classroom anxiety, psychological coping strategies, aspects of mental health, and educational motivation on the educational adjustment of Thai students enrolled in first-year Thai university English language courses. A total of 477 Thai-speaking students taking first-year introductory English courses in two faculties at a Thai university participated in this study, which involved completion of a questionnaire translated into Thai using a combination of back translation, committee deliberation, and field testing techniques. Hierarchical regression analysis showed that depression was the strongest predictor of educational adjustment, followed by motivation to develop occupational talents. Foreign language classroom anxiety, active psychological coping, and English language self-efficacy were also found to be strong predictors. English language proficiency as measured by TOEIC (Test of English for International Communication)was not found to be a reliable predictor of educational adjustment, arguably because of the overall bilingual nature of these students' first-year experience. Availability and use of additional psycho-educational and psychological counseling assistance may benefit NESB (non-English-speaking backgrounds) students who are required to study English by reducing foreign classroom language anxiety, increasing English language self-efficacy, increasing motivation to improve one's occupational talents, and reducing symptoms of depression.

“…First-year students begin with the complex transition from adolescence to adulthood with different activities than before. Blimling & Miltenberger said when entering college, adjustments to campus life are one of the main transitions for students because they will face a college environment that was not known before [1]. Adjustment process with campus life can creates difficulties and affects to physical and psychological conditions and students who failed to achieve satisfaction in adjustment in college life will find many difficulties.…”
