Predicting Freshman Persistence and Voluntary Dropout Decisions from a Theoretical Model.
Pascarella, Ernest T.; Terenzini, Patrick T.
Journal of Higher Education, v51 n1 p60-75 Jan-Feb 1980
A five-scale instrument developed from a theoretical model of college attrition correctly identified the persistence/voluntary withdrawal decisions of 78.5 percent of 773 freshmen in a large, residential university. Findings showed that student relationships with faculty were particularly important. (Author/PHR)
