Wolniak, Gregory C.; Mayhew, Matthew J.; Engberg, Mark E.
Journal of Higher Education, v83 n6 p795-823 Nov-Dec 2012
This study advances the understanding of college persistence by examining five dimensions of student learning in relation to second-year persistence. Two of the five dimensions of learning were found to be significant predictors of persistence, and each was moderated by social integration. (Contains 5 tables and 1 figure.)
