The Role of Personality Aspects, Attachment, Affective Indicators, and Demographic Factors of Geographical Distance and Studentsʹ Gender in Predicting Homesickness

In order to examine predicting factors of homesickness among students, a sample of 360 freshmen (210 females and 150 males) were selected through propositional random sampling from Shahid Beheshti University dormitories. Then, a battery of questionnaires were completed by students including Homesickness Scale (VanVliet, 2001), NEO-FFI (Costa & McCrae, 1992), Adult Attachment Styles (Hazan & Shaver, 1987), and DASS (Lovibond & Lovibond, 1995). Based on a hierarchical regression analysis data were analyzed. Results indicated that among demographic and psychological factors, gender, neuroticism, and anxiety emerged as predictors of homesickness.
