The Community College Survey of Men: An Initial Validation of the Instrument's Non-Cognitive Outcomes Construct
Wood, J. \Luke; Harris, Frank, III.
Community College Journal of Research and Practice, v37 n4 p333-338 2013
The purpose of this manuscript is to discuss the utility of the Community College Survey of Men (CCSM[c]), an instrument designed to examine predictors of student success for men in community colleges. The authors highlight initial validation results from a recent pilot of the CCSM[c], with a focus on the non-cognitive outcomes construct employed in the instrument. A factor analysis enabled the identification of multiple non-cognitive outcomes and item elimination. Reliability analyses indicated that the instrument has strong internal consistency for men as a whole, and for cross-racial/ethnic comparisons. Given this, the authors suggest that this instrument be used to inform programming and service-delivery designed to enhance the success of men of color in the community college. (Contains 2 tables.)
