Abstract:

The purpose of this study is to explore the impact of negative life events and social support on freshmen’s adaptation in a certain engineering college. It is found that the interpersonal relationship pressure factor contained in negative life events has a significantly negative correlation with freshmen’s adaptation; the old friend support factor and new friend support factor contained in social support have significantly positive correlations with freshmen’s adaptation; the support from university classmates plays a partial intermediary role in interpersonal relationship pressure and college freshmen’s adaptation. The findings suggest that helping college students to establish favorable support relationships will be beneficial to alleviating their interpersonal stress and making them adapt to college life.

Key words:  negative life events, social support, college freshmen’s adaptation
