Early academic perceptions are critical to undergraduate students' success in college. This 3-phase study examined stability of and links between academic comparative optimism (ACO; positive expectations about future performance) and perceived academic control (PAC; sense of influence over academic outcomes) among 68 undergraduate students. ACO…

Howell, Andrew J.; Buro, Karen – Learning and Individual Differences, 2009

Kaufman, James C.; Agars, Mark D.; Lopez-Wagner, Muriel C. – Learning and Individual Differences, 2008
Non-cognitive factors represent a chance to learn more about how to help students succeed in early college experiences. This study examined personality and motivation as predictors of first-quarter GPA in a sample of 315 non-traditional undergraduates at a Hispanic-serving institution. Our results provide support for the importance of high levels…
