A longitudinal study of academic success identifies factors that
predict the first semester GPA and second semester enrollment of
women enrolled in their first semester of college. Freshman women
will be recruited from the Psychology Department participant pool,
and complete measures of resilience, psychological functioning,
social-support, self-esteem, and attachment security during the
first 4 weeks of the semester. Participants will also provide
permission to obtain their Fall 2018 GPA and Spring 2019 enrollment
data from university records. During the last four weeks of the
semester, participants will be asked to return to complete measures
of resilience, psychological functioning, social-support, locus of
control, and social desirability. Regression and Logistic regression
models will be used to evaluate the group of variables that best
predict first semester GPA and persisting to the second semester of
college.
