ABSTRACT
The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationships between coping strategies and college life adjustment in relation to self-esteem and self-compassion in college freshmen. The SACQ, COPE, RSES, and SCS were administered to 264 college freshmen. The results can be summarized as follows: self-esteem and self-compassion demonstrated differential effects on freshmen's coping strategies and college life adjustment. First, self-esteem had strong effects on problem-focused coping and avoidant coping strategies; while, self-compassion had a powerful impact on the reduction of negative emotions and seeking social support as coping strategies. Second, results from the regression analysis regarding the effects of self-esteem and self-compassion on college life adjustment indicated that self-esteem strongly affected most components of college life adjustment, but self-compassion affected only the personal-emotional adjustment. Path analysis suggested self-esteem directly influenced college life adjustment, and self-compassion directly influenced personal-emotional adjustment. The role of self-compassion as a regulator of negative emotion was discussed.
