对于学生服务人员和退伍军人(SSM/V)适应大学的预测，人们知之甚少。在定性研究中，SSM/V报告说，他们感觉自己不属于大学社区，并被大学社区误解，这种现象被咨询心理学家称为文化不协调。目前这项研究的目标是定量考察文化不协调与大学适应之间的关系。采用大学生大学适应问卷对814名SSM/V进行了调查。文化不和谐通过两种方式实现：不归属感通过直接报告来测量，与大学适应的联系通过回归来评估。通过比较SSM/V对学业障碍的看法和SSM/V对他人如何看待SSM/V的学业障碍的看法来评估被误解的感觉，并用多项式回归和响应面分析来评估与适应的关联。文化上的不协调预示着适应大学生活。在控制了其他已知的预测因素后，不归属感可以解释大学适应的18%。多项式回归表明，对学业障碍的理解感保护学生不受学业障碍对大学适应的负面影响。文化的不协调预示着SSM/V对大学的适应。让SSM/V感觉到他们在大学适应方面的独特障碍被理解可能会削弱这些障碍的影响。
Little is known about what predicts student service members’ and veterans’(SSM/V) adjustment to college. In qualitative research, SSM/V report feeling they do not belong and are misunderstood by college communities, a phenomenon that counseling psychologists call cultural incongruity. The goal of the current study was to quantitatively examine the relationship between cultural incongruity and adjustment to college. We surveyed 814 SSM/V about their adjustment to college using the Student Adaptation to College Questionnaire. Cultural incongruity was operationalized in two ways: feelings of not belonging were measured via direct report and the association with adjustment to college assessed with regression. Feelings of being misunderstood about academic barriers were assessed by comparing SSM/V’s perceptions of academic barriers and SSM/V’s perceptions of how others view the SSM/V’s academic barriers and the association with adjustment was assessed using polynomial regression and response surface analysis. Cultural incongruity predicted adjustment to college. After controlling for other known predictors, feelings of not belonging accounted for 18% of the variance in adjustment to college. Polynomial regression showed that feeling understood about academic barriers protected against the negative impact of the barrier on adjustment to college. Cultural incongruity predicts adjustment to college for SSM/V. Helping SSM/V feel their unique barriers to college adjustment are understood may blunt the impact of these barriers.
