Title: | The Impact of the Transition to HE: emotions, feelings and sensations | Authors: | Diana da Silva Dias | Keywords: | Transition; Higher Education; Developmental Psychology; Students; Emotions | Issue Date: | Jun-2014 | Publisher: | John Wiley & Sons Ltd | Source: | Dias, D., & Sá, M. J. (2014). The Impact of the Transition to HE: emotions, feelings and sensations. European Journal of Education, 49(2), 291-303. | Journal: | European Journal of Education | Abstract: | Transition to Higher Education (HE) is a significant life event and it is supposed to be a very agreeable experience to students. However, such impact is not linear, being mediated by students' psychosocial variables and by their own perceptions concerning the HE environment. Transition to HE encompasses many tasks to cope with changes: dealing with new kinds of responsibilities and managing emotions. A wide variety of emotions take place in the HE transition, either of a positive or negative nature, such as joy of enrolment success and fears of social rejection. This research focused on the transition to HE, approaching freshmen's personal and developmental variables. Results confirm that the impact of transition has a mostly emotional nature and that related concerns differ according to students' gender and socio-cultural background. With greater joy or greater anxiety, HE transition may be perceived as a stage of a long process towards adulthood. | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12275/347 | DOI: | 10.1111/ejed.12058 |
