Abstract

During the transition to college, emerging adults face a number of developmental challenges. These two studies explore the developmental task of role balance, its relationship to other key variables (e.g., overall college adjustment, depressive symptoms), and its impact on first semester college achievement. Hierarchal linear regression and cross-lagged panel correlation analysis are employed.
