First-year university students needed!

Description

Ethics ref: 22521

First-year university students needed! I am looking to recruit first-year students to investigate the relationship between personality and academic, social and emotional adjustment during the transition to university

Why I am conducting this research 
This research study aims at exploring the relationship between personality and adjustment to university life. I am conducting this research to understand how personality influences students’ experience of starting university, with particular interest in the academic, social and emotional experiences of first-year university students during their first year of study. 
What’s involved for participants 
If you choose to participate, you will be asked to complete an online survey on Qualtrics, which includes: 
•    A demographic questionnaire asking your: 
o    age in years
o    your sex 
o    whether you are an international or home student
o    whether you took any gap year(s) before starting university. 
•    A questionnaire about personality factors 
•    A questionnaire asking about your academic adjustment during your first year of university 
•    A questionnaire asking about your experience of the social support received during your first year of university 
•    A questionnaire asking about how you manage your emotions 
The study will take approximately 15-20 minutes to complete.

No compensation for your participation will be made
