Personal Factors of Students' Emotional Disadaptation

Researches of such personal characteristics as perfectionism and hostility and their interrelation with emotional disadaptation have been intensively carried out during the last 15 years. The research was carried out on 145 first year students of Moscow universities. The following instruments were administered: Beck's Anxiety and Depression Inventories, questionnaire of recent life events, Questionnaire of Perfectionism, Projective Hostility Test, and COPE scale.The preliminary results of the research suggest that emotional ill-being is connected with such personal factors as perfectionism and hostility and makes stress processing more difficult.
