There were significant differences in college life adaptation with respect to gender(t=3.947, p<.001), age(F=3.445, p=.032), major(F=5.539, p=.001), family type(F=6.958, p<.001). There was negative correlation between adaptation to college life and perceived stress(r=-.696, p<.001), depression(r=-.507, p<.001), positive correlation were found between perceived stress and depression(r=.567, p<.001).

본 연구는 대학 신입생을 대상으로 대학생활적응 정도와 대학생활적응에 영향을 미치는 요인을 확인하여 대학생활적응을 위한 기초자료로 활용하고자 시도되었다. 연구참여자는 B시의 대학 신입생 2088명을 대상으로 하였다. 자료분석은 SPSS 22.0 프로그램을 이용하여 실수, 백분율, 평균, 표준편차, t-test, ANOVA, 피어슨 상관계수, 다중회귀분석으로 분석하였다. 대상자의 대학생활적응은 3.75±0.73점이었고, 일반적 특성에 따른 대학생활적응의 차이를 분석한 결과 성별(t=3.947, p<.001), 연령(F=3.445, p=.032), 전공(F=5.539, p=.001), 가족형태(F=6.958, p<.001)에서 유의한 차이를 나타냈다. 연구대상자의 대학생활적응은 지각된 스트레스(r=-.696, p<.001), 우울(r=-.507, p<.001)과는 부적상관관계, 지각된 스트레스와 우울(r=.567, p<.001)은 정적상관관계를 나타냈다. 대상자의 대학생활적응에 영향을 미치는 요인은 지각된 스트레스, 우울, 연령, 전공, 가족형태로 나타났고, 설명력은 50.4%로 확인되었다. 따라서 대학 신입생의 대학생활적응을 향상시키기 위해서는 대학생활적응 능력을 함양하는 다양한 프로그램을 개발하여 적용하는 것이 필요하다.
