Fass, Michael E.; Tubman, Jonathan G.
Psychology in the Schools, v39 n5 p561-73 Sep 2002

Significant positive correlations were documented between parent and peer attachment and several indices of psychosocial competence. Analyses revealed that indices of cognitive ability were significant predictors of college students' grade point averages. (Contains 66 references and 4 tables.) (GCP)
