Motivation, Academic and Social Integration, and the Early Dropout.

Stage, Frances K.

American Educational Research Journal, v26 n3 p385-402 Fall 1989

Associations among background, commitment levels, institutional involvement, and student persistence were studied for 260 out of 323 early college dropouts. The model of attrition developed by V. Tinto (1975) was applied. Student persistence was found to vary by motivational type and student's psychosocial orientation to college. (SLD)
