Abstract

How do emerging adults experience the transition into tertiary education during the Covid-19 pandemic? By targeting inter-individual differences in the transition experience from a person environment fit perspective, the project will challenge the (often implicit and untested) assumption that the enforced counter-Corona measures lead to equally worse adjustment for all emerging adults. Understanding the needs of the emerging adults in this time period may help in increasing study satisfaction and reducing university dropout.
