Abstract


The main objective of the paper is to investigate the specific personality factors which are making impact on the college adjustment level of new students. Personality keeps on varying at different age levels. Adolescent is the age which shows maximum variation in personality especially when we move from school to college. During this time, an individual make important life decisions, develop their personal and professional identities, interests and values, and evolve from adolescence to adulthood. Hence, it is very important for an individual to adjust well in college. College adjustment by each student will vary depending on background, experience, and prior schooling. In order to investigate the above mentioned objective investigator collected the sample of 160 first year students from Amity University, Gurgaon. The measures used were NEO-FFI-3 and College Adjustment Scale (CAS). Keeping in view the nature and purpose of the study investigator applied regression and t-test. Analysis result show that three factors are playing significant role in college adjustment i.e. neuroticism, openness and conscientiousness. High level of neuroticism leads to lower level of college adjustment and Individuals high in Openness to Experience and Conscientiousness have consistently demonstrated better overall adjustment to college life than students who score low.
