Abstract
To investigate adaptability among undergraduates, 6238 college students were received Adolescents' Adaptability Scale (AAS) assessment. The results indicated: (1) There was no significant difference between boys and girls. (2) The level of singletons' adaptability was higher than that of non-singleton. (3) There were significant differences in family sources, which showed the trend of big city>midsize city> small town>countryside. (4) Differences of adaptability existed apparently among students learning different majors. The order was as follows: physical art>science>liberal arts. (5) Differences of adaptability existed conspicuously among students of different grades. The developmental tendency was as follows: sophomores >juniors>freshmen>seniors.
