Abstract
Predictors of academic and psychological adjustment among 56 first-yea r college students were investigated. Although individual variables (A CT score, problem-solving skills, surgency/intellect, emotional stabil ity) were related most strongly to adjustment, environmental variables (social support, daily hassles, distance from home) made significant incremental contributions to the prediction of grade point average, so cial adjustment, and psychological symptoms. Implications for interven tion are discussed.
