Abstract

The research aimed to identifying :

1. Egocentrism of the university students .
2. Academic adaptation of the university student.
3. Differences in Egocentrism according to the both variable ( Gender and Specialization ) of the university student.
4. Differences in academic adaptation according to the both variable ( Gender and Specialization ) of the university student .
5. The Contribution of academic adaptation to Egocentrism of the university student .

The sample of the research consisted of ( 400 ) students.      
Tow instruments have been used in this research ; first : Egocentrism Scale constructed by the researcher consisted ( 42 ) items . The characteristics of psychometric form Validity have been verified, t reliability has been verified by test retest. The Correlation Coefficient  was  ( 0,73 ). internal consistency of ( Alpha Cronbach ) was ( 0,85 ). Second: was the Scale of academic adaptation which constructed by the researcher consisting of ( 56 ) items . reliability by test retest were verified. The correlation coefficient ( 0,77 ), the method of ( Alpha Cronbach was ( 0,79 ). The following statistical means  was using :(Chi-square test, one sample T- test, Two independent sample T-test, Alpha Cronbach   Pearson's Correlation Coefficient, Two way analysis of variance with interaction, Scheffee test & Regression analysis. The Research find the following results:             

1. The students of the university enjoy high level of Egocentrism.
2. The students' of the university enjoy high level of  academic adaptation .
3. There is no differences in the Egocentrism and due to the Gender, study  specialization, interaction  between the Gender and study specialization.
4. There are differences in the Gender in the academic adaptation, and there are differences in the study Specialization in favor of humanitarian of females. and no-differences in the interaction among them.,
5. There are no relation of Statistical significant between Egocentrism and academic adaptation.
6. There are no statistically significant academic contribution to adapt the egocentrism among university students.
