Abstract/Summary
Self-concept, optimism, stress and commitment to career choice are tested as predictors of academic achievement and adjustment in 96 male and 111 female Lasallian undergraduates using the Academic Adjustment Questionnaire, Pasao Self-Concept Scale, Optimism Scale, Stressful Situations Questionnaire and the Commitment to Career Choice Scale. It was hypothesized that students' academic achievement and adjustment can be predicted by the four independent variables mentioned above. Results using the stepwise multiple regression analysis indicate that students with higher commitment to career choice were able to get higher grades, and while those with higher self-concept, higher optimism and higher commitment to career choice were better able to adapt to the college environment. No other relationships proved to be significant.
