The main purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of teachers' high maintenance behavior on teacher-student interaction, students' learning self-efficacy, and school adaptation. The subjects were 257 college students (male: 59.5%; female: 40.5%). The research results indicated that: 1) old-fashioned teachers have a negative influence on teacher-student interaction; 2) influence and learning ability have a significant predictive effect on school adaptation; however, teachers' high maintenance behaviors do not have a significant effect on learning self-efficacy or school adaptation. The findings of this study can help college students to interact with teachers' high maintenance behaviors, and provide insight into the effect of these interactions and school adaptation.
