Institutional and External Influences on Social Integration in the Freshman Year.
Christie, Nancy G.; Dinham, Sarah M.
Journal of Higher Education, v62 n4 p412-36 Jul-Aug 1991
A study examined the social integration aspects of Tinto's model and conceptions of college student "rites of passage" through interviews with 25 freshmen. Findings generally support the model's propositions but indicate that postmatriculation experiences external to the institution are more important to social integration than the model suggests.
