A study was conducted on the psychological reaction to the transition to university in 198 first year residential students. Female subjects had higher levels of psychological disturbance and cognitive failure. Thirty-one per cent of the subjects reported experiencing homesickness. These subjects had higher levels of psychological disturbance and cognitive failure than non-homesick subjects. There were no sex differences in homesickness reporting. The non-homesick group were found to be more likely to have been away from home before either to attend boarding school or to take holidays. This suggests either that selective aspects of previous mobility experience are beneficial or that self-selection factors operate in that those who do not feel distress at leaving home are more likely to acquire mobility experience.
对198名一年级住校学生向大学过渡的心理反应进行了一项研究。女性受试者的心理困扰和认知失误水平更高。31%的受试者报告有思乡之情。这些受试者的心理困扰和认知失误水平高于无思乡之情的受试者。在思乡之情的报告方面没有性别差异。发现无思乡之情的群体更有可能之前离开过家，要么是去上寄宿学校，要么是去度假。这表明，之前流动经历的某些选择性方面是有益的，或者存在自我选择因素，即那些离家时不感到痛苦的人更有可能获得流动经历。
