Lee B. Kneipp, Kathryn E. Kelly, and Benita Cyphers’ article, Feeling at Peace with College: Religiosity, Spiritual Well-Being, and College Adjustment, issued in Individual Differences Research in 2009, examines the ability of religion and spirituality to aid students’ adjustment into college. The author highlights the psychological stress that typically appears within this transition. Collecting a sample of 233 university students, Kneipp measures their levels of religiosity with the Religious Measure and the Spiritual Well Being Scale, as well as their adaptability to the new environment through the Student Adaptation to College Questionnaire (SACQ). SACQ studied the academic, social, emotional, and the Goal Commitment-Institution Attachment.
