The
purpose of this study is to understand the role of basic personality traits and
attachment styles in predicting homesickness among first year college students.
The study was conducted with 177 preparation class students who have moved to
another city away from their family. Data was collected through ''Utrecht
Homesickness Scale'' developed by Stroebe, Vliet, Hewstone, and Willis (2002),
''The Big Five Inventory'' by Benet-Martinez and John (1998) and
''Relationships Scales Questionnaire'' developed by Griffin & Barholomew
(1994). Fearful and preoccupied attachment styles and neuroticism were found as
significant predictors in explaining homesickness. Attachment styles and
personality traits were found to explain 15% of variance in homesickness.
