- Abstract:
- The purpose of the current study was to investigate factors that may impact college students’ ability to successfully adjust to the college environment. Emotional intelligence, cognitive intelligence, and academic self-concept were expected to be associated with differences among participants’ adjustment to college scores. Participants included 93 first-year college students (61 female, 32 male) at an ethnically diverse university in South Florida. Results indicated that for participants born abroad, emotional intelligence was a significant predictor of college adjustment, after accounting for the effects of cognitive intelligence and academic self-concept. For participants born in the United States, emotional intelligence did not account for any additional variance in college adjustment. Implications from these findings suggest emotional intelligence may be an important factor when adjusting to college in a foreign country.
