In the school-year-based comparison of communication skills and adjustment to college life, third- and first-year students showed the best and least communication skills, respectively. Overall, third- and fourth-year students were more adjusted at adjusting to college life than first- and second-year students. Third-year students also scored the highest in academic adjustment, whereas second-year students scored the lowest. In terms of relationships between the students' communication skills and their adjustment to college life, communication skills were positively correlated with the following subdomains: understanding of others, self-expression, and communication. Communication skills also showed a positive correlation with adjustment to the college environment, including personal-emotional adjustment. Conclusions : The present study found that communication skills did not significantly affect health science majors' adjustment to college life.

The purpose of this study was to examine the influence of other-awareness in multicultural adolescents upon psychosocial adjustment and to figure out the mediating effects of self-regulatory ability in this relationship. To achieve this research objective, a questionnaire survey was conducted targeting 127 middle-school adolescents from multicultural families in Busan city. As a result, the other-awareness in multicultural teenagers had a negative(-) influence upon the self-regulation and the psychosocial adjustment. The self-regulatory ability appeared to have a positive(+) impact on psychosocial adjustment. Also, in consequence of verifying the mediating effects of self-regulation in the relationship between other-awareness and psychosocial adjustment in multicultural adolescents, the self-regulatory ability was shown to have a partial mediating effect. In light of this outcome, diverse programs for self-regulation need to be developed in order to enhance psychosocial adjustment in multicultural adolescents. An institutional support from school and community must be made for raising the positive awareness on multicultural families.
