Identifying Non-Cognitive Factors That Influence Success of Academically Underprepared Freshmen.
Richardson, Shirley M.
Journal of the Freshman Year Experience, v6 n2 p89-100 1994
A study involving 199 private liberal arts college freshmen found a weak but statistically significant correlation between high school grade point average and freshman grade point average (FGPA) but not between Scholastic Aptitude Test scores and FGPA. For academically underprepared freshmen, motivation-related noncognitive variables significantly predicted FGPA and influenced persistence more than cognitive variables. (Author/MSE)
