Abstract

Prior to initial enrollment, undergraduates completed surveys assessing expectations about their college adjustment, and later completed a second survey assessing actual adjustment. Six years later inspection of academic transcripts revealed which students had dropped out and whether they had been in good academic standing or poor academic standing. Results indicated that two different sets of items best discriminated among good‐standing students, the persisters (n=113) and the leavers (n=29), and among poor‐standing students, persisters (n=36) and leavers (n=30). Generally, emotional and social adjustment items predicted attrition as well or better than academic adjustment items.

  • Student relationships can lead to enhanced student sense of belonging, sense of community, and retention in a degree program.

    “Conceptualized as social integration in Tinto’s theory of college student departure (Tinto, 1975), student relationships can lead to enhanced student sense of belonging, sense of community, and retention in a degree program (Tinto, 1987; Cabrera et al., 1993; Gerdes and Mallinckrodt, 1994).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
