Career Decision-Making Self-Efficacy, Perceived Stress, and an Integrated Model of Student Persistence: A Structural Model of Finances, Attitudes, Behavior, and Career Development.
Sandler, Martin E.
Research in Higher Education, v41 n5 p537-80 Oct 2000
Examined the persistence of students (n=937), 24 years of age or older, studying in two- and four-year degree programs by combining data from a survey questionnaire and institutional records. The structural equation model of Cabrera et al. (1993) was adapted for this older population, with identification of three additional variables: career decision-making self-efficacy, perceived stress, and financial difficulty. (DB)
