The psychology of going to university

Notes de l'éditeur

  1. We might not necessarily have choice, but still want to construct ourselves as choosing, deciding, in control of our own lives. Pushed and pulled in different directions…
  2. Searching potential employees social media profiles increasingly more common. Encourage self-reflection – have you applied for a job recently or a work experience placement? What would they find about you? Could it impact on you getting an interview?
  3. personal judgments of one’s capabilities to attain designated goals (Bandura, 1986) Self-efficacy beliefs in self-regulated Learning (SESRL) (Zuffianò et al., 2012) Complex relationship between self-esteem & academic achievement (see Baumeister et al., 2003)
