Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between the individuation and interpersonal problems of college students. The subjects of this study were 228 college students in Seoul. The individuation of college students was assessed by KLAIQ(Baik, Doh & Park, 1998) and the interpersonal problems of college students were assessed by KIIP(Jung, Kim & Kwon, 2000). The major findings of this study were as follows: Gender was found to be a significant factor on individuation of college students and independent problems in interpersonal problems. A significant difference among individuation was found with the college students of \'Ambiguous status\' reporting higher interpersonal problems than the college students of \'individuation status\' and \'pseudo autonomous status\'. Connectedness with parents and self-confidence among sub-dimensions of individuation were negatively correlated with interpersonal problems of college students. Self-confidence was the strongest predictor of interpersonal problems of college students.
