“…Kinzie et al (2007) report that women-only college students are more engaged and have a higher level of support than their co-educational counterparts. These institutions empower female students and provide a supportive academic campus climate (Kim, 2002;Kim and Alvarez, 1995;Kinzie et al, 2007;Trolian et al, 2018). In some studies, women-only college students reported higher self-esteem and self-confidence levels (Riordan (1994)).…”

“…Further, impersonal orientation lowers social involvement (Deponte, 2004). There are many benefits for female students attending women-only colleges, but studies have also highlighted the disadvantages of women-only colleges (Trolian et al, 2018). In many studies, students attending women-only colleges reported less social satisfaction than students from coeducational institutions (Smith et al, 1995).…”

PurposeGeneral causality orientation is a mini-theory within the self-determination theory (STD). The purpose of this study was to examine the influence of general causality orientations (autonomous, controlled, and impersonal) on perceived stress and self-esteem among students in a women-only college.Design/methodology/approachData were collected through a questionnaire administered to students (n = 132) of a small women-only university in Roanoke, Virginia, USA. The survey included questions on the three general causality orientations, perceived stress, and self-esteem; the survey also included questions on student satisfaction, financial resources, and academic performance, used as control variables in the study.FindingsAutonomous orientation was not significantly related to self-esteem or perceived stress. Controlled orientation negatively influences self-depreciation. Finally, impersonal orientation positively influenced self-depreciation and negatively affected self-confidence.Practical implicationsFaculty and administrators in women-only universities should be encouraged to implement programs that strengthen the sense of optimism among female students. Student support services that emphasize enhancing autonomous orientation could be even more helpful by offering interventions that help students overcome their impersonal orientation.Originality/valueWhile previous studies have concentrated on autonomous orientation, this study provides recommendations for overcoming impersonal orientation among female undergraduate students in women-only colleges to enhance self-esteem and reduce stress.
