Cover Story: Transitioning from high school to university can be a challenging time that is associated with uncertainty and stress, in part resulting from the vast number of subjects students have to choose from. Based on this assumption, this study investigates reasons for enrolling in a study program, students’ stress, as well as the coping strategies of n = 201 first- and higher-semester students. A specific feature of the questionnaire is the differentiated analysis of seven facets of motivation, expanding on the typically dichotomous approach. The results support this more complex structure of motivation and offer first insights into the connection between intrinsic motivation and coping strategies. The findings can be used to improve student well-being and reduce dropout rates, as well as to design suitable marketing strategies for universities. View this paper
