The Role of Student Involvement and Perceptions of Integration in a Causal Model of Student Persistence.
Berger, Joseph B.; Milem, Jeffrey F.
Research in Higher Education, v40 n 6 p641-64 Dec 1999
This study refined and applied an integrated model of undergraduate persistence (accounting for both behavioral and perceptual components) to examine first-year retention at a private, highly selective research university. Results suggest that including behaviorally based measures of involvement improves the model's explanatory power concerning how students interact with the college environment as a precursor to academic and social integration.
