Correlates of Commitment/Alienation among High School Seniors.
Hendrix, Vernon L.; And Others
Journal of Research and Development in Education, v23 n3 p129-35 Spr 1990
A study involving 1,521 high school seniors correlated commitment/alienation scores with student personal characteristics, grade point average, advanced courses taken, and indicators of academic effort/priority. Affective responses tended to be distributed symmetrically, and a student's place on the continuum was related to capacity to control outcomes, success, effort, and relevance. (Author/IAH)
