College students' ability to adjust to the collegiate environment, new social demands, and rigorous academic requirements are all constructs often evaluated for college students in research studies. First-year female college students experience greater emotional stress that impacts their ability to adjust to college. Few studies have evaluated the benefits of personal growth groups and their effect, if any, on college adjustment. The present study aims to examine the possible role of personal growth groups regarding adjustment to college, and to uncover the relationship between personal growth groups for female freshmen students and their unique challenges and adjustment. This study also aims to determine whether personal growth groups would be related to improvements in not only college adjustment, but also in self-efficacy and social connectedness. Existing research had not adequately explored personal growth groups as a possible intervention option to aid in student adjustment to college. This study demonstrated that students who participated in personal growth groups had significant improvement in adjustment to college. In addition to improved levels of college adjustment, this study contains empirical evidence that personal growth groups can also aid in improvement on self-efficacy and social connectedness.
