Andrea Briceno-Mosquera – Research in Higher Education, 2024
In the United States, some states allow undocumented immigrants to benefit from in-state resident tuition policy at public colleges and universities, a benefit aimed at improving accessibility to higher education. Yet, undocumented immigrants face bureaucratic procedures and requirements that may discourage them from applying and delay or hamper…

An, Brian P.; Loes, Chad N. – Research in Higher Education, 2023
Using data from the Wabash National Study of Liberal Arts Education (WNSLAE), this study considered institutions as "incubators," where institutions develop students by providing them with essential resources and services to thrive. This approach also recognizes the importance of institutional norms and identities in shaping students'…

Cook, Amanda M. – Research in Higher Education, 2022
There is a well-documented relationship between academic match and bachelor's degree completion; students who undermatch are less likely to complete a BA than those who match or overmatch, net of academic qualifications and demographic characteristics. Little is known, however, about whether this association has changed over time. I argue that…

Would You Bribe Your Lecturer? A Quasi-Experimental Study on Burnout and Bribery in Higher Education
Weißmüller, Kristina S.; De Waele, Lode – Research in Higher Education, 2022
Bribery is a complex and critical issue in higher education (HE), causing severe economic and societal harm. Traditionally, most scholarship on HE corruption has focused on institutional factors in developing countries and insights into the psychological and motivational factors that drive HE bribery on the micro-level mechanisms are virtually…

Evans, Olivia; McGuffog, Romany; Gendi, Monica; Rubin, Mark – Research in Higher Education, 2022
Despite social class being a burgeoning area of research in the higher education literature, there is no single comprehensive measure of social class in university student populations. Most previous research has included objective single-item measures (e.g., parent education or occupation) to assess social class and then sorted students into…

Fountain, Joselynn Hawkins – Research in Higher Education, 2019
In 2010, the Obama Administration proposed new regulations designed to hold institutions of higher education (IHEs) accountable for student outcomes. I examine the effects of the regulatory uncertainty surrounding these "Gainful Employment" (GE) regulations on enrollment at for-profit IHEs. I utilize informational debt rates of GE…

Cole, Darnell; Kitchen, Joseph A.; Kezar, Adrianna – Research in Higher Education, 2019
There are few accounts in the higher education literature of mixing methods at the survey design stage and very little guidance targeting higher education researchers and practitioners who want to implement a mixed methods approach to design survey tools. This article explores an eight-step, iterative, mixed methods approach for creating a…

Van Zile-Tamsen, Carol – Research in Higher Education, 2017
The use of surveys, questionnaires, and rating scales to measure important outcomes in higher education is pervasive, but reliability and validity information is often based on problematic Classical Test Theory approaches. Rasch Analysis, based on Item Response Theory, provides a better alternative for examining the psychometric quality of rating…

Braun, Jakob; Zolfagharian, Mohammadali – Research in Higher Education, 2016
While there is general consensus that students are more or less participants in their educational experiences, the relationship between student participation and satisfaction has not been extensively examined in higher education literature. Looking to participation research in other literatures serves as a starting point for exploring this link.…

Cox, Bradley E.; Reason, Robert D.; Nix, Samantha; Gillman, Megan – Research in Higher Education, 2016
Students' lives outside of college can have dramatic effects on academic outcomes (e.g., grades, persistence, graduation). However, the manner in which students' lives outside of college are referenced in college-effects models suggests some uncertainty among scholars as to which, and how, student experiences outside of an institution affect…

Mayhew, Matthew J.; Simonoff, Jeffrey S. – Research in Higher Education, 2015
The purpose of this paper is to describe effect coding as an alternative quantitative practice for analyzing and interpreting categorical, multi-raced independent variables in higher education research. Not only may effect coding enable researchers to get closer to respondents' original intentions, it allows for more accurate analyses of all race…

Arias Ortiz, Elena; Dehon, Catherine – Research in Higher Education, 2013
In this paper we study the factors that influence both dropout and (4-year) degree completion throughout university by applying the set of discrete-time methods for competing risks in event history analysis, as described in Scott and Kennedy (2005). In the French-speaking Belgian community, participation rates are very high given that higher…

Bahr, Peter Riley – Research in Higher Education, 2013
In this study, I draw on Bahr's ("Research in Higher Education" 51:724-749, 2010; New Directions for Institutional Research S1:33-48, 2011) behavioral typology of first-time community college students to examine college-level variation in students' patterns of use of 105 community colleges in California. I find that students' patterns of…

Ro, Hyun Kyoung; Terenzini, Patrick T.; Yin, Alexander C. – Research in Higher Education, 2013
Most of the research on the effects of college on students that examines the influences of institutional characteristics--what Pascarella and Terenzini ("How college affects students: Findings and insights from twenty years of research". San Francisco: Jossey-Bass 1991) called "between-college" effects--indicate that the descriptors typically used…

Bryant, Alyssa N.; Gayles, Joy Gaston; Davis, Heather A. – Research in Higher Education, 2012
This study examined the relationships among college students' civic values and behaviors, college culture, and college involvement, accounting for their pre-college inclinations toward civic responsibility. Using a longitudinal, national dataset comprised of 3,680 college students, the study employed structural equation modeling to identify a…
