Factors Negatively Affecting University Adjustment from the Views of First-Year University Students: The Case of Mersin University

“…Particularly, the results indicated that most freshmen reported experiencing homesickness, loneliness, shyness, and fear of failure or disapproval. Numerous studies indicate that first-year university students tend to experience a magnification of personal-emotional problems including social isolation, homesickness, loneliness, shyness, and "friendsickness" (Baker & Siryk, 1984;Duru, 2008;Karahan et al, 2005a;Paul & Brier, 2001). Moreover, causes of university and department preferences were observed as categories negatively affecting the personalemotional adjustment of first-year university students.…”

“…Although related research emphasizes the importance of identifying factors affecting university adjustment, only a limited number of studies focus on the adjustment of firstyear university students in Turkey.

In addition, these studies were conducted through quantitative research methods, and focus only on overall adjustment or one adjustment dimension such as academic or social adjustment.…”

Ancak özellikle eğitim fakültelerindeki öğretmen adaylarının demokratik değerlerinin araştırılması ve adayların öğretmenliğe başlamadan önceki demokratik değerleriyle ilgili yapılabileceklerin gözden geçirilmesi önemli görülmektedir.…”

Evaluation of sport mental toughness and psychological wellbeing in undergraduate student athletes

“…Students have to take responsibility and make decisions on their own in this social environment to which they have not yet become accustomed. Using their individual potential in the shortest amount of time possible, students have to adapt to this new environment in which family and friend support has suddenly been interrupted (Karahan et al, 2005).…”
