College Persistence: Structural Equations Modeling Test of an Integrated Model of Student Retention.
Cabrera, Alberto F.; And Others
Journal of Higher Education, v64 n2 p123-39 Mar-Apr 1993
A study integrated the major propositions of 2 theories of college persistence (Tinto's and Bean's) and used the resulting framework to survey a population of 466 first-year college students at 1 university. Findings supported most of the hypothesized links between the models and revealed a complex role for environmental factors in retention. (Author/MSE)
