Research Report: Social Adaptation of Freshmen in Hong Kong Schools

This report presents a student's research on the social adaptation of freshmen in Hong Kong, examining the impact of single-gender versus co-educational schools and the influence of high school involvement. The study utilizes a quantitative approach, employing questionnaires distributed via email to at least 100 respondents. Data analysis is conducted using SPSS, including Cronbach's alpha for reliability, crosstab analysis, correlation analysis, and t-tests to test hypotheses. The findings suggest that freshmen from single-gender schools exhibit lower levels of social adaptation, and there is a positive correlation between high school involvement (extracurricular activities and leadership roles) and social adaptation in college. The report details the methodology, data collection, statistical analyses, and the interpretation of results, supporting or refuting the research hypotheses. Various tables and charts are included to illustrate the outcomes of the analysis. The report concludes by summarizing the key findings and their implications for understanding freshmen's social integration.
