Social Cognitive Model of College Satisfaction: A Test of Measurement and Path Models
Feldt, Ronald C.
College Student Journal, v46 n4 p812-822 Dec 2012
The study examined a model that integrates social-cognitive and trait-personality constructs to examine two domains of college satisfaction. Direct and indirect effects were observed for conscientiousness, perception of institutional resources, self-efficacy, and goal progress. Paths differed for personal and institutional satisfaction. Most hypothesized paths were confirmed. (Contains 2 figures and 1 table.)
