Cromley, Jennifer G.; Kaplan, Avi; Totonchi, Delaram A.; Stine, Kevin; Mara, Kyle R.; Balsai, Michael; Ta – AERA Online Paper Repository, 2017
We built on two cognitive and three motivational theoretical constructs to create a combined intervention aiming to improve course achievement and retention in STEM for first-year ("gateway") biology students. Participants were 350 students in one of 8 conditions or a no-treatment control group. Messages supporting cognition and…

Perez, Tony; Cromley, Jennifer G.; Kaplan, Avi – Journal of Educational Psychology, 2014
The current short-term longitudinal study investigated the role of college students' identity development and motivational beliefs in predicting their chemistry achievement and intentions to leave science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) majors. We collected 4 waves of data over 1 semester from 363 diverse undergraduate STEM students…
