A Replication of a Path Analytic Validation of Tino's Theory of College Student Attrition.

Terenzini, Patrick T.; And Others

Review of Higher Education, v8 n4 p319-40 Sum 1985

A study of the predictive validity of Tinto's theory of college student attrition is described. Compensatory interaction between levels of goal and institutional commitment indicated that institutional commitment had its greatest positive influence on retention for students with low levels of commitment to completing a college degree, and vice versa.
