Schooling effects on subsequent University performance: evidence for the UK University Population
Economics of Education Review, 2005Co-Authors: Jeremy Smith, Robin NaylorAbstract:Abstract From a unique data set identifying the school attended prior to University for a full cohort of UK University students; we examine the determinants of final degree classification. We exploit the detailed school-level information and focus on the influence of school characteristics; such as school type; on subsequent performance of students at University. We estimate that; on average; a male (female) graduate who attended an Independent school is 6.5 (5.4) percentage points less likely to obtain a ‘good’ degree than is a student who attended an LEA (that is; state-sector) school; ceteris paribus. We also find considerable variation around this average figure across different Independent schools. We find that; for males; the variation in the probability of attaining a ‘good’ degree according to the Independent school attended can largely be explained by the level of school fees.

Relationship between coping and anxiety in young University Population
European Psychiatry, 2016Co-Authors: K. Cabas-hoyos, N. German-ayala, E.d.l. Nadia, M.b. Loreina, U.u. AliciaAbstract:In Latin American countries the University Entrance occurs before 17 years of age, in adolescence. The literature proposes some tasks of this stage as the search for identity and definition of the plan of life (Casullo et Fernandez-Liporace, 2001). This stage is characterized by changes that may lead to stress (Frydenberg et Lewis, 1991) and strategies and styles should be deployed to deal with situations surpluses. The aim of this paper is to explore the relationship between coping styles and anxiety in young University students. The total sample consisted of n = 216 University students (53.2% female, n = 115, 46.8% male, n = 101; between 16 and 18 years of age: m = 17.32, SD = 0.70). The subjects answered the ACS (Frydenberg, 1997) which assesses coping styles in young people and the AMAS-E (Reynolds, 2007) assessing anxiety. The design was corelational, the data were analyzed using SPSS 21.0 statistical program. Results and discussion As used style Troubleshooting reduces test anxiety, the tendency of these two variables is negative (P = 0.01). Implement the style Relating to others it will decrease test anxiety, the tendency of both variables is negative and statistically significant (P > 0.05). Stress in young people increases as gets underway unproductive type (P = 0.00). The results are consistent with the literature that suggests that late adolescents in academic challenges cause such hardship (Marote et Martinez, 2001).

Feelings of hopelessness in a Spanish University Population Descriptive analysis and its relationship to adapting to University, depressive symptomatology and suicidal ideation
Social psychiatry and psychiatric epidemiology, 2004Co-Authors: Ferrán Viñas Poch, Esperanza Villar, Beatriz Caparrós, Jaume Juan, Montserrat Cornella, Isabel PerezAbstract:The feeling of hopelessness is one of the main risk factors in suicidal behaviour, a clinical symptom of depression and a factor of great etiological relevance in hopelessness depression. With the aim of contributing data relative to the levels of hopelessness in the general Population, this study has been made with three objectives in mind: to determine the levels of hopelessness in a University Population, to analyse the relationship of hopelessness with the process of adapting to University and, finally, to analyse the relationships between hopelessness, depression, psychopathology and suicidal ideation. A total of 1277 first- and second-year students, from different faculties and degree courses, participated voluntarily in this investigation. The results obtained indicate that 13.9% of the students present moderate or severe levels of hopelessness. The students with greater levels of hopelessness are dissatisfied with different aspects of University life, spend less time on extracurricular educational activities and are less likely to go to examinations. Also, the relationship between hopelessness, depression and suicidal ideation is once again clearly seen. The results suggest the need to develop some type of programme or service for the University community which could influence the mood of students and modify their expectations with the aim of preventing suicidal behaviour and improving their adaptation to University life and, consequently, their academic performance.
