Effects of self‐efficacy on adjustment to college

This study examined the effects of self‐efficacy on adjustment to college among 1385 Japanese college students. The College Adjustment Self‐Efficacy Scale (CASES) was constructed in order to evaluate the degree of confidence in the skills necessary for college adjustment. Three subscales were identified in the CASES: judgmental ability based on objective information, self‐controlled persistence of activity, and self‐adjustment in human relations. There were slight gender differences in the first and the third subscales. The CASES subscale scores were compared between well and poorly adjusted students in each college major. Differences in the score patterns of well adjusted students were compared across 13 college majors. The implications for academic career counseling are discussed
