Main Results:

  • Friend support positively predicted academic, social, and institutional adjustment.
  • Avoidant emotional-focused coping negatively impacted all adjustment domains.
  • Bereaved students showed lower institutional attachment with high problem-focused coping and lower social adjustment/institutional attachment with low family support.

Conclusions:

  • Coping strategies and social support are vital for college adjustment, especially for bereaved students.
  • Interventions should address avoidant coping and enhance social support systems.
  • Higher education institutions should consider tailored support for grieving students.
