- Abstract
The aim of the present study was to assess the predictive power of personality traits and perceived social support on homesickness in college students. The study would be characterized as non-experimental, transactional, fieldwork and transversal correlational-causal. A total of 228 college students aged 16 to 25 years, in their first academic period in public and private universities of Caracas, Venezuela participated. Measurements included the Homesickness Scale by Archer et al., Goldberg's Personality Inventory and the Perceived Social Support Inventory by Dunn et al. Data analyses included descriptive statistics, correlations, and multiple regression. Results indicate that homesickness can be inversely predicted by friends support, neuroticism and religious support variables; attachment to home, by neuroticism and religious support variables. Dislike for the University was predicted, also inversely, by friends support and neuroticism. Key words: Homesickness; Personality; Social support; College studentsicism. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
