ABSTRACT

This study aimed to inquire into differences of students’ college adjustment by compromise types between preferred university and major. This study employed a national sample of 2147 freshmen students using the Seventh Korean Education Longitudinal Study. In the present study, compromise types of preferred university and major were categorized into four groups by applying Gottfredson's theory. As the results of MANOVA, the students of choosing the preferred university and major got the higher score in the total score of college adjustment. For the differences of college adjustment level by compromise types, ‘preferred university–preferred major’ group and ‘less preferred university-preferred major’ group had significantly higher score in the total score of college adjustment, and the students of choosing the preferred university and ‘preferred university-less preferred major’ group had significantly lower score in the GPA. The implication and limitation of the study and the suggestions for the future studies were discussed.
