SOARES, Adriana Benevides et al. Interpersonal relations in university: what do undergraduated students in psychology think?. Est. Inter. Psicol. [online]. 2016, vol.7, n.1, pp. 56-76. ISSN 2236-6407.

Social relations at the university are important for adaptation, experience and academic results. This article aims to identify how college students perceive their experiences in interpersonal situations in academic space. We used focus group to collect the data and content analysis to categorize and analyze the speech of the students. Participants were 13 psychology students from a public university in Rio de Janeiro city. The results allowed the categorization of situations as easy and difficult. Concerning difficult situations, we perceived the students’ difficulties in dealing with interpersonal relationships. Regarding the teacher-student relationship, difficulties were identified with the teacher’s didactics. As situations listed as easy, we highlight the students who admire their teachers, the tolerance of differences, socialization, and acceptance to work with colleagues.

Palabras clave : focus groups; interpersonal relationships; college students; psychology.
