Student Retention, Social Support, and Dropout Intention: Comparison of Black and White Students.
Mallinckrodt, Brent
Journal of College Student Development, v29 n1 p60-64 Jan 1988
Examined the relationship between persistence and perceptions of social support from members of the campus community and from family members for Black (N=53) and White (N=140) college freshmen. Found Black and White freshmen's perceptions of social support and dropout intentions were significant predictors of persistence, but crucial sources of support were different in both groups.
