Through summarizing differences in data, we sum up three major aspects of birth groups in terms of adaptability differences: construction of self-identity, academic adaptation crisis, and development opportunities.
Specifically, their disadvantages are tangible in three aspects: construction of self-identity, academic adaptation crisis, and development opportunities.
Wave 1 was composed of students who participated in the project, "Academic Adaptation, Personality, and Subjective Well-Being in University Students," before the fire.
In sum, youth born in July and August exhibit notable relative age disadvantages in academic adaptation and access to developmental opportunities and suffer from accumulated effects.
We consequently conduct OLS regression analysis with tutoring time during holidays as a dependent variable to further study the varying characteristics of the three birth groups in academic adaptation, taking multiple factors into account (Table 5).
Results indicated that linguistic confidence in L2 was particularly important and L2 proficiency and integrative motivation were additionally important for both socio-cultural and academic adaptation for Mainland Chinese international students.
The disadvantages in academic adaptation stem from the fact that youth born in July and August experience energy deficiency, adaptation crisis, and inefficient use of class time during study that results in the necessity of devoting extra time, taking 99.9 133.2 more minutes for tutoring per week during holidays than other students.
Two months before the fire, data on subjective well-being (Zanon et al. 2013; Zanon et al. 2014) and personality (Nunes et al. 2010) were collected in two local universities as part of a project about academic adaptation in university students.
The questions were developed from ideas emerging from literature and designed to explore the feelings of acculturation, psychological adjustment and socio-cultural adaptation in relation to cultural and academic adaptation concerns; language and personal support/counselling related issues.
Student adaptation to College questionnaire The student adaptation to college questionnaire (SACQ) [ 9] is composed of 62 items and divided in to four scales; academic adjustment, social adjustment, personal-emotional adjustment and attachment.
