Causes of (un)success at university

The publication deals with the problem of (un)success of students at universities, especially from the social-psychological and personality perspective.

The factors mapped are mainly those that arise from the student's personality, previous study experience and social background. The central focus is on motivation to study at university and its impact on academic performance.

The book also assesses how students adapt to the higher education system — what prevents them from successfully adapting to the demands of the faculty, and thus the university.
