Results of rank-order…

Pope, Jennifer A.; Sánchez, Carol M.; Lehnert, Kevin; Schmid, Alexandra S. – Journal of Teaching in International Business, 2014
We propose that Generation Y college students' motivations to study abroad are rooted in the desire for individual growth, which, combined with other motivation factors--gender, parents' educational level, prior international experience, age, and household income--drives the intent to study abroad. The study samples juniors and seniors in business…

Lenhart, Amanda; Purcell, Kristen; Smith, Aaron; Zickuhr, Kathryn – Pew Internet & American Life Project, 2010
