几十年来，大学生的适应、成功和保留一直是大学管理者和学生发展专业人士关注的焦点。然而，全国大学保留和毕业统计数据通常集中在传统的，住宅的，全日制的大学人口。本研究的目的是更密切地研究种族/民族，性别和体育参与的影响，对大学的162名大学新生参加一个多样化的城市通勤机构调整。学生适应大学问卷（SACQ）被用来测试三个自变量（种族/民族，性别，体育参与）的四个SACQ分量表（因变量）的影响。研究结果显示，显着的皮尔逊相关性和多变量方差分析的主要影响变量的性别和体育参与的某些SACQ分量表。更具体地说，多变量方差分析的主要影响结果显示性别的变量的学术调整和机构附件分量表的SACQ和体育参与的社会适应分量表的SACQ。这些研究结果对学生服务和体育节目的影响进行了讨论。
College student adjustment, success, and retention have been a focus of college administrators and student development professionals for decades. However, national college retention and graduation statistics are typically focused on traditional, residential, full-time, college populations. The purpose of the current study was to examine more closely the impact of race/ethnicity, gender, and athletic participation on the adjustment to college of 162 college freshman attending a diverse urban commuter institution. The Student Adaptation to College Questionnaire (SACQ) was employed to test the impact of the three independent variables (race/ethnicity, gender, athletic participation) on the four SACQ subscales (dependent variables). Findings revealed significant Pearson correlations and multivariate analysis of variance main effects among the variables of gender and athletic participation on certain SACQ subscales. More specifically, multivariate analysis of variance main effect findings were revealed for the variables of gender on the academic adjustment and institution attachment subscales of the SACQ and for athletic participation on the social adjustment subscale of the SACQ. Implications of these findings for student services and athletics programming are discussed.
