Ting, Siu-Man Raymond
Journal of Humanistic Counseling, Education and Development, v48 n2 p215-228 Fall 2009
SAT scores and noncognitive factors (acquired knowledge in a field, community service, positive self-concept, and preference for long-term goals) were found to be related to academic performance and persistence among 1st-year NCAA Division I student athletes (N = 109). Implications for college counselors and future research directions are discussed. (Contains 2 tables.)
