Predictors of Stress in First-Generation College Students
Helmbrecht, Brittany; Ayars, Candace
Journal of Student Affairs Research and Practice, v58 n2 p214-226 2021
A multiple regression analysis was performed to determine if self-esteem, social support, locus of control, or coping strategies could predict perceived stress in first-generation college students. All variables studied were found to predict stress, while self-esteem and emotional-support seeking coping added statistical significance to the prediction, p < 0.05. Results can be used to improve the college experience of first-generation college students.
