项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The proposed project uses the transition to college to investigate risk and protective factors for adjustment to college during emerging adulthood. This proposal represents several advances on the current literature. It uses a multimethod approach to assess insider and outsider perspectives on family functioning and adjustment. It extends family systems theory by reconceptualizing whole-family dynamics to include family changes in salivary cortisol during family interaction. The project's longitudinal design allows for the assessment of change in perception of family dynamics across a yearlong transitional period, and includes both pre- and post-transition assessments. The proposed project focuses on three domains of adjustment critical to emerging adults; academic, social, and emotional adjustment. One hundred and twenty prospective first-year college students between 17 and 19 years of age who have never attended college before will be assessed at three time points before and during their first college year. During a pre- college assessment all participants and their parents will complete self-report measures and participate in two videotaped family interaction tasks. We will sample cortisol before, directly after, and 30-minutes after family members work together to build a house of cards. During fall and spring semester assessments participants will fill out self- report measures. Adaptive whole-family functioning, including family cortisol response, is predicted to protect emerging adults from adjustment problems leading to depression, loneliness, stress, academic failure, substance abuse and other risky behavior. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: The proposed project uses the transition to college to investigate risk and protective factors for adjustment to college during emerging adulthood. Adaptive whole-family functioning, including family cortical response, is predicted to protect emerging adults from adjustment problems that can lead to depression, loneliness, stress, academic failure, substance abuse and other risky behavior.

描述（由申请人提供）：拟议的项目使用向大学的过渡来调查新兴成年期间调整大学的风险和保护因素。该提案代表了当前文献的几个进步。它使用多方法方法来评估内部人士和局外人对家庭功能和调整的看法。它通过重新概念化全户家庭动态来扩展家庭系统理论，以在家庭互动过程中包括唾液皮质醇的家庭变化。该项目的纵向设计允许评估一个长期过渡期的家庭动态感知的变化，并包括过渡前和后期评估。拟议的项目着重于对新兴成年人至关重要的三个调整领域。学术，社会和情感调整。 17至19岁之间从未上大学的一百二十名年轻的大学生将在第一年和第一年的三个时间点进行评估。在大学前评估中，所有参与者及其父母都将完成自我报告措施，并参加两项录像的家庭互动任务。我们将在家庭成员共同努力建造纸牌屋之后之前，直接和30分钟之前先进行皮质醇采样。在秋季和春季学期期间，参与者将填写自我报告措施。预计包括家庭皮质醇反应在内的自适应全部运作，包括家庭皮质醇反应，可以保护新兴的成年人免受导致抑郁，孤独，压力，学术失败，药物滥用和其他危险行为的调整问题。公共卫生相关性：拟议的项目利用向大学的过渡来调查新兴成年期间调整大学的风险和保护因素。预计包括家庭皮质反应在内的自适应全部运作，包括家庭皮质反应，可以保护新兴的成年人免受可导致抑郁，孤独，压力，学术失败，药物滥用和其他风险行为的调整问题。
