Isi artikel

Examined in this article is the association between psychological separation and adjustment to university in a sample of 969 late adolescents. Structural equations modelling confirmed the existence of two dimensions of psychological separation, namely independence from parents and positice separation feelings. Results indicated that both dimensions of psychological separation positively predicted better adjustment to university, but that positice separation feelings clearly were the better predictor. None of these associations was moderate by students' grade level or gender or by their parents' perceived parenting style. The negative relationship between the two dimensions of psychological separation only held for freshmen and junior students, females and students reared by authoritarian parents. Implications of these findings for current understanding of the separation - adjustment link and for counseling college students are discussed.
