    Personality differences between persisters and withdrawers in a small women's college (1976)
    Springer
    Research in higher education 5 (1976), S. 15-25 
    Details
    ISSN: 1573-188X
    Keywords: attrition ; persistence in college ; personality

    Notes: Abstract Differential effects of a particular small women's college environment on the attrition of its students were studied. Two separate entering classes, a total of 330Ss were classified into four categories, Persisters, Withdrawers, Academic Withdrawers, and Returners, and were compared on 35 personality and demographic characteristics, using as primary measures the 15 scales of the omnibus personality inventory. Conclusions, drawn from the data on persisters and withdrawers, were that: (a) no consistent differences appeared in demographic characteristics, (b) as hypothesized, students who withdrew were more complex and more autonomous, (c) the hypothesis that withdrawers would be more impulsive was not supported, and (d) as predicted, persisters differed from withdrawers on social introversion, intellectual disposition, and practical outlook. The study supports the thesis that important personality characteristics discriminate between persisters and withdrawers.

    Transfer students in institutions of higher education (1978)
    Springer
    Research in higher education 8 (1978), S. 319-342 
    Details
    ISSN: 1573-188X
    Keywords: transfer students ; higher education ; background characteristics ; college students

    Topics: Nature of Science, Research, Systems of Higher Education, Museum Science
    Notes: Abstract The primary purpose of this study is to describe the extent of college transfers over two years since initial matriculation and to examine differences in background characteristics between transfers and nontransfers (i.e., persisters, withdrawals, and graduates). Data involved a national probability sample of the 1972 entering class. Major findings include the following: 25% of the 2-year college students transferred to a 4-year institution, and 16% of 4-year college students moved to another 4-year institution. This later group of students tended to hold higher socioeconomic status and college grades but lower ability test scores than persisters. Implications of the findings are also discussed.

    The relation of students' precollege characteristics and freshman year experience to voluntary attrition (1978)
    Springer
    Research in higher education 9 (1978), S. 347-366 
    Details
    ISSN: 1573-188X
    Keywords: college students ; attrition ; freshman year
    Source: Springer Online Journal Archives 1860-2000
    Topics: Nature of Science, Research, Systems of Higher Education, Museum Science
    Notes: Abstract This study assessed the relative influence on attrition of students' precollege characteristics, their experiences and perceptions of the freshman year, and the interactions of sex, major, and racial or ethnic origin with those experiences and perceptions. A series of stepwise multiple regression analyses indicated that precollege traits are not significantly related to attrition, that integration in the academic systems of the institution may be more important than involvement in the social systems, and that certain interactions between precollege traits and freshman year experiences and perceptions may be the most important. The findings suggest that attrition reduction efforts may need to be focused on what happens to students after they arrive on campus, on academic areas, and perhaps on the development of selective plans designed for different kinds of students.

    Student characteristics and academic performance in higher education: A review (1978)
    Springer
    Research in higher education 8 (1978), S. 111-123 
    Details
    ISSN: 1573-188X
    Keywords: background characteristics ; introvert ; study habits ; cluster analysis
    Source: Springer Online Journal Archives 1860-2000
    Topics: Nature of Science, Research, Systems of Higher Education, Museum Science
    Notes: Abstract This is a review of the recent literature on student characteristics and their predictive potential for academic achievement. Results are not optimistic, often contradictory, and on the whole account for little variance beyond that accounted for by tests of intellectual ability. Researchers often use different performance criteria and so results are not comparable. However, there has been much complex, diverse, and unique work done on personality and motivational factors but no clear trends have emerged. Other factors investigated have been home and class background, study habits, previous withdrawal, and expectations. The review concludes by demonstrating the usefulness of the cluster analysis approach which indicates groups of students with similar patterns of characteristic criteria.

    Attrition in the liberal arts college of a major metropolitan university (1978)
    Springer
    Research in higher education 9 (1978), S. 281-289 
    Details
    ISSN: 1573-188X
    Keywords: enrollment ; attrition ; discriminant analysis

    Topics: Nature of Science, Research, Systems of Higher Education, Museum Science
    Notes: Abstract A variety of data was collected about students in the liberal arts college of a major metropolitan university. Random samples of 120 students were selected from each of two groups: “stayers” and “leavers.” The data include only those variables that would be known to administrators at the time an admissions decision is to be made. These data were then subjected to a stepwise linear discriminant analysis. Significant results are found for discriminating between the two groups, and nine variables are found to contribute to the discrimination.
