A Text and Reconceptualization of a Theoretical Model of College Withdrawal in a Commuter Institution Setting
Abstract
This study tests Tinto's (1975) theoretical model of college withdrawal in a non-residential university setting and offers a reconceptualization of the model based on the results. Path analysis was used to test the predictive validity of the model on a sample offreshmen in a large, urban, commuter institution. The results afforded less support for the person-environmentfit aspects of the model than have been found in residential settings. Similarly, the influence of such concepts in the model as social integration and institutional commitment was found to be different from theoretical expectations or previous research in residential institutions. The findings have implications for the efficacy of person-environmentfit theory as it relates to the prediction of persistencelwithdrawal behavior in non-residential postsecondary institutions. A reconceptualized model for explaining persistencelwithdrawal decisions in commuter institutions is presented and discussed.

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.
