Staying in College: Moderators of the Relation Between Intention and Institutional Departure.
Okun, Morris A.; And Others
Journal of Higher Education, v67 n5 p577-96 Sep-Oct 1996
A study with 652 community college students investigated whether the relationship between intention to stay in or transfer from the institution and departure is moderated by semester grade point average, commitment, and encouragement to stay. Results show the interaction effects of intention by commitment, and intention by encouragement to stay, both contributed significantly to prediction of institutional departure. (Author/MSE)
