两项研究考虑了上大学的个人流动策略会因难以适应大学生活而产生心理成本。研究 1（N = 74）研究了影响大学选择的经济因素和开放参加者中与身份相关的因素。作为一名大学生的预期认同和对大学生活的准备受到经济因素（大学入学的经济利益和所考虑大学的地位）的影响，但也与认为与一个人的社会背景不相容呈负相关。这些发现在一项纵向研究中得到了重复，其中学生在进入大学之前（T1）、进入大学两个月后（T2）以及进入大学八个月后再次评估学生的看法（T3；N = 109）。社会阶层（T1）预测感知的不兼容性，但不能预测经济因素。此外，经济因素和不相容性可以预测群体认同（T2），但只有感知到的不相容性才能预测长期认同（T3）。大学教育作为一种成功的个人流动策略的信念（T3）受到最初的不兼容性（T1）的间接负面影响，但对大学学位的经济效益（T1）产生了积极的影响。讨论了个人流动策略的（经济）收益与（身份）成本的影响。版权所有 (C) 2007 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
Two studies considered when the individual mobility strategy of attending university has psychological costs in terms of poor adjustment to university life. Study 1, (N = 74) examined both economic considerations affecting university choice and identity-related factors among open do), attendees. Expected identification as a university student and preparedness for university life was affected by economic factors (economic benefit of university attendance and status of the considered universities) but also negatively related to perceived incompatibility with one's social background. These findings were replicated in a longitudinal study in which students' perceptions were assessed before entering university (T1), after being at university for two months (T2) and again after being at university for 8 months (T3; N = 109). Social class (T1) predicted perceived incompatibility but not economic factors. In addition, economic factors and incompatibility predicted group identification (T2) but only perceived incompatibility predicted longer-term identification (T3). Belief that university education serves as a successful individual mobility strategy (T3) was indirectly negatively affected by initial incompatibility (T1), but positively with perceiving economic benefits of a university degree (T1). Implications for the (economic) benefits versus (identity) costs of individual mobility strategies are discussed. Copyright (C) 2007 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
