An Approach/Avoidance Behavioral Model of College Student Attrition.
Eaton, Shevawn Bogdan; Bean, John P.
Research in Higher Education, v36 n6 p617-45 Dec 1995
A model of attrition based on theory of approach/avoidance behavior was developed and tested with 262 university students, mostly in their first and second years. The study demonstrated that certain approach/avoidance behaviors affected certain types of academic and social integration more than others, and that integration may be more complex than previously thought.
