Abstract Details

2010, Bachelor of Arts, Marietta College, Psychology.
The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between students’ internal working model (IWM) of attachment and the frequency of prayer in relation to their successful adjustment to college. This was measured through the use of four separate, self-report questionnaires administered to fifty college freshmen. Due to the significant change from high school to college only freshmen were used. Data was analyzed through a univariate analysis of variance and a bivariate correlation matrix. The results showed that the hypothesis was not supported, however, significant correlations between prayer and coping mechanisms, as well as between coping mechanisms and adjustment to college were found. Exploratory tests were also run which suggests new avenues for future research.
