Abstract: This study investigated how college adjustment was influenced by the level of separation-individuation and problem-focused coping strategies of freshmen students. Independent variables included Problem-focused Coping (measured by the Adolescent-Coping Orientation for Problem-focused Experiences), Positive Separation Feelings from parents (measured by the Conflictual Independence subscale of the Psychological Separation Inventory and the Separation-Individuation Test of Adolescence), and Independence from Parents (measured by the Functional, Attitudinal, and Emotional Independence subscales of the Psychological Separation Inventory); the dependent variable was college adjustment (measured by the Student Adaptation to College Questionnaire). College freshmen (n = 87) from a mid-sized southeastern university in the United States completed the scales at the end of their first year.
