Abstract

The primary goal of this study was to evaluate the relationship between levels of campus involvement and parental separation anxiety in relation to overall psychological well being found in college freshmen. First year students completed self-report measures of their campus involvement, parental separation anxiety, and their overall psychological well-being. We expect to find that those students with higher levels of reported campus involvement will have lower levels of parental separation anxiety, resulting in higher levels of overall psychological well being. The benefits of this study is to raise awareness about the benefits of being involved on campus, show the effects of parental separation anxiety on psychological well being, and bring focus to the activities that are offered to students on campus.
