Students acquire a fundamental understanding of their new opportunities, working with many good role models. Thematically organised, this book brings various perspectives by focusing on the importance of psychological context -- examining how colleges, universities and their social environments, and ways in which college students become who they are, how they grow, and how they reach the full potential. The authors integrate empirical research throughout the book to present a meaningful story of both psychological and educational research and its applications to college students' daily lives. Teaching pedagogy, student-centered learning, and lives in context enrich our insights and bring exploration of the ways in which college means us as a part of the lifespan. Both of our authors' professional and personal experiences enable us to provide realistic examples of how to apply necessary skills we describe in the book. It will also yield pertinent information about the college experience, and review the issues that apply to a campus setting. It is our attempt to help remedy the problem of why college students have difficult times as a major concern, although college faculty and staff do their very best to keep schools and classrooms safe, organised, positive, and productive. We hope this book will provide necessary tools for many current and future college faculty and staff and that those individuals who desire to belong our academic life.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePreface; The Impact of Motivation to Change, Parenting, and Delayed Gratification on College Adjustment; Working Together to Understand and Mitigate the Effects of the Sophomore Slump: Implications of a Phenomenological Study; The Ambient Power of the College Campus: Spatiality and the Emerging Majority Experience; Love and Sex on Campus; Substance Use among Diverse Groups of College Students; Increasing Student Interaction: Creating a College Book Club; Overparenting of College Students; Parents and Their College Students: Influences on Well-Being; Internalization of Motivation and Persistence in College Students; Personality, Gender, Self-Efficacy, Procrastination, and Goal Setting: Their Effect on College Students Memory Assessment; Comparing Self-Reported Emotional Intelligence, Self-Efficacy, and Personality Traits in College Students Career Decision-Making: A Pilot Study; College Students Struggle with Spelling Difficult Words; Work Hard, Play Hard: College Students Myths and Misconceptions Surrounding Achievement; The Effects of Animal Assisted Activities on College Students during Final Exam Period; Deconstructing Risk Factors Impacting College Student Mental Health; Resiliency and Guidelines to Supporting Mental Health in the College Student Population; The Impact of Loss Characteristics on Grief Effects in Bereaved College Students; About the Editor and Contributors; Index.","brand":"Nova Science Publishers Inc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48886174744919,"sku":"9781536180565","price":163.19,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781536180565.jpg?v=1722539089","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/exploring-the-opportunities-and-challenges-of-college-students-9781536180565","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
