Description

<p>This study investigated a diversity of moratoriums among modern young adults. University students were classified based on what they considered important in their campus life. Their anxieties, state of moratorium, and learning motivation were also compared. A questionnaire survey was conducted with 624 students, and responses were subjected to cluster analysis using standard scores of seven priorities in campus life. The results extracted four clusters, of which Cluster 1 considered self-inquiry and study as important, exhibited motivation for learning and high self-determination; it corresponded to Erikson's classic-type moratorium. Cluster 2 did not place importance on any activity and was characteristic of students who could not cope positively with campus life. Cluster 3 considered all activities as important, and emphasized independence, anxiety about falling behind, and several motives for learning motivations; it was considered a “risk-averse type of moratorium.” Cluster 4 was about interaction with others, and club or circle activities as important, included a sense of omnipotence, and showed positive dealings with career decisions through activities other than studies; it corresponded to a new type of moratorium proposed by Okonogi.</p>
