To identify the level of attitudes towards the teaching profession, we used a research method based on a questionnaire investigation, as method of analysis, and two different cohorts of students: cohort 1 was represented by students enrolled in 2010-2011 academic year and cohort 2 by the students enrolled in 2019-2020. The cohort, the environment and the gender gave us interesting results about the attitude towards teaching (total score, attitude towards others, work and self-attitude). The results showed that there are significant differences between cohorts in terms of attitude towards teaching career.

In this paper we wanted to define the connection between social and temporal comparisons with some indicators of positive and negative adaptation to study. Besides, we wanted to check the connection between social and temporal comparisons with some other variables which proved to be significant in the process of adaptation in the previous researches such as self-respect, self-efficiency, loneliness, and study burden. And finally, we were interested in whether the changes in the mentioned variables appear in the course of the first year of study. Two investigations were implemented on the example of the first year students in Zadar. The first in the second and the third week from the beginning of classes, and the second a month before the end of teaching in the same academic year. Significant connections of different types of social and temporal comparisons with indicators of positive, namely, negative adaptation have been defined, as well as with self-respect and general self-efficiency. We also found out that there were changes during the first year in consequences of such comparisons and they were more negative towards the end of schooling than at the beginning.
