Numerous emerging adults are inclined to go to college, but the different life and learning environment of college can be a challenge, particularly those with autistic traits such as poor social skills, poor communication skills, and so on. Few studies have explored the mechanism underlying the association between autistic traits and school adjustment in college students. This study sheds light on this topic. A sample of 1,381 Chinese college students completed surveys about autistic traits, school adjustment, emotion regulation, and friendships. The results showed that there were significant correlations between autistic traits, emotion regulation, friendships, and school adjustment. Emotion regulation and friendships were found to play a chain-mediating role in the association between autistic traits and school adjustment. The results indicate that to help college students to better adapt to school life, it is critical to pay attention to their autistic traits, emotion regulation ability, and friendships.
许多新兴成年人倾向于上大学,但大学不同的生活和学习环境可能是一项挑战,尤其是那些具有自闭症特质的人,比如社交技能差、沟通能力差等等。很少有研究探讨自闭症特质与大学生学校适应之间关联的潜在机制。本研究阐明了这一主题。1381名中国大学生的样本完成了关于自闭症特质、学校适应、情绪调节和友谊的调查。结果表明,自闭症特质、情绪调节、友谊和学校适应之间存在显著相关性。研究发现,情绪调节和友谊在自闭症特质与学校适应之间的关联中起连锁中介作用。结果表明,为帮助大学生更好地适应学校生活,关注他们的自闭症特质、情绪调节能力和友谊至关重要。
