Senioritis: College Student Perceptions on Causes, Outcomes, and Support
Young-Jones, Adena; McCain, Jason; Burt, Tracie; Drew, Megan; Heim, D. J.
NACADA Journal, v41 n1 p64-79 2021
Senioritis is characterized by tendencies such as arriving late or skipping class, decreased motivation, or behaving irresponsibly by investing little effort in schoolwork. Research on senioritis primarily focuses on high school seniors, so the present study explored the phenomenon at the college level by investigating perceptions of senioritis in college students. Results indicated that students believe senioritis exists at the college level and that supportive relationships with faculty members and advisors play a significant role in how senioritis is perceived. This study confirms the relevance of studying college-level senioritis and suggests future research to define and further explore the phenomenon.
