Abstract(s)

The analysis of first year college students’ mental health and academic adjustment are the main objectives of the present study. More specifically, the aim is to investigate if mental health and academic adjustment are related and, if they are influenced by personality traits, wellness, resilience, social support and some demographic variables, such as gender, age and degree. The non probabilistic sample includes 595 students (56 % male), aged between 18 and 72 years old (M = 22.94; SD = 6.90). The variables were assessed using the Mental Health Inventory – MHI-5 – (Ribeiro, 2001), Questionário de Vivências Académicas – QVA-r – (Almeida, Ferreira & Soares, 1999), Wagnild and Young Resilience Scale (1993), Inventário de Personalidade dos Cinco Factores – NEO-FFI-20 – (Bertoquini & Ribeiro, 2007), Escala de Satisfação com o Suporte Social – ESSS – (Ribeiro, s.d.), Questionário de Atitudes e Comportamentos de Saúde – QACS – (Ribeiro, 2004) and with a socio-demographic questionnaire made for this purpose.
