Similarly there is a  paucity of literature on the effects of relocation  and the concept of homesickness. These issues were  explored by comparing day students with boarders in a  longitudinal study of 74 students in their first year  of secondary and boarding school in a rural remote  town in North Queensland. Findings indicated that  most of the students perceived that they had adapted  well, with emphases on peer interactions and school  work. Positive identification with home, school and  self contributed to adjustment, whilst there were  associations among measures of depression,  homesickness and coping which were also related to  negative perceptions of family and\/or school contexts  and perceived adaptation. Homesickness was identified  as a distinct phenomenon, which could be  discriminated from, but also include, depressive  symptomatology. Homesickness is explained as a  normative adaptive developmental process of place  identity, which if protracted, can impede positive  identification with the school setting and  adjustment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"aw-variant-hidden-subtitle-div\" id=\"aw-variant-subtitle-9783838346793\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAdolescents'' experience of the transition to secondary and boarding school\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Autorenwelt Shop","offers":[{"title":"Softcover - 9783838346793","offer_id":39469166329949,"sku":"9783838346793","price":79.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0940\/0622\/files\/5e52b5ac-e729-4efd-a274-77ae84fb3c21.jpg?v=1757911587","url":"https:\/\/shop.autorenwelt.de\/products\/coping-with-change-von-jacqueline-downs","provider":"Autorenwelt Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
