Toward the Validation of Tinto's Model of College Student Attrition: A Review of Recent Studies.
Terenzini, Patrick T.; Pascarella, Ernest T.
Research in Higher Education, v12 n3 p271-82 1980
Salient findings of six studies assessing the construct validity of Tinto's model of college student attrition are described. The studies are based on three independent data collections over a three-year period and indicate the students' informal contacts with faculty are consistently related to subsequent persistence/withdrawal decisions.
