Sažetak
Parental role in late adolescence and emerging adulthood change and may require encouraging the young person’s increasing independence and autonomy, while still providing guidance and support. The goal of this study was to determine the parental role in different aspects of college students’ adjustment. The representative sample of 165 freshmen has been assessed with a number of measures and followed during three years. The results suggest that various factors related to parenting continue to play an important role in different aspects of college students’ adjustment. It is confirmed that parental involvement in students’ academic functioning is important for their academic and social adjustment after three years at college. Perceived parental support is related to student satisfaction and college adjustment, while negative automatic thoughts that are related to fear of disappointing parents predict depression, anxiety and lower academic achievement. The role of initial college adjustment and previous academic achievement contribute to later parental perceived functioning. The results have important implications for coaching parents on how to facilitate their child’s transition to college and how to appropriately provide them with encouragement and guidance.
