Rizqy Cahyo Utomo, Budi Andayani

Abstract

Adjustment of first year college student is argued as one of the hardest adjustment of a student in their lifetime. This quantitative study examines the contribution of academic self-efficacy toward their adjustment, moderated by their subjective perception of their educational institutionâ€™s well-being, named as school well-being. Research would be conducted using three scales (adjustment scale, academic self-efficacy scale, and school well-being scale), in a real setting. Participants were 451 students from 9 department of Faculty S, one of faculty from one of the most prestigious university in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. The hypothesis was school well-being and academic self-efficacy would predict the successfulness of first year adjustment. Our findings conclude that school well-being and academic self-efficacy both predicts the score of studentâ€™s adjustment. Academic self-efficacy contributes 32,29% of first year college studentâ€™s adjustment, and ScWB contributes another 15,68% of it.
