Showers, Anne H.; Kinsman, Jeremy W. – Learning Disability Quarterly, 2017
Using structural equation modeling, the study tested a theoretical model linking family background, student attributes, and college success. The sample consisted of 346 students with learning disabilities (LDs) who enrolled in college between 2004 and 2012. The data were taken from the public files of the Education Longitudinal Study: 2002. The…

The Influence of Social Class on Academic Outcomes: A Structural Equation Model Examining the Relationships between Student Dependency Style, Student-Academic Environment Fit, and Satisfaction on Academic Outcomes
Direct linkDirect link
Nadler, Dustin R. – ProQuest LLC, 2013
The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between college students' social class and their academic outcomes. A structural equation model was proposed, hypothesizing that a student's socioeconomic status (SES) is related to their motives for attending college, thus influencing their perception of fit at the university, their…

Differences in Educational Outcomes of African American Students from Different Socioeconomic Backgrounds.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Grosset, Jane M. – Structural Equation Modeling, 1997
A structural equation model of educational outcomes was tested with three socioeconomic status (SES) groups of African American community college students. Results with 340 students who completed a followup indicate that higher levels of academic and social engagement had positive direct effects on educational outcomes for all students regardless…

Grosset, Jane M. – 1995
This research tested a structural equation model of educational outcomes for three socioeconomic status (SES) groups of African-American students enrolled in a community college (total sample of 315). The structural model, which was based on a variant of Tinto's (1987) model, contained two exogenous constructs, educational intentions and…
