Thesis (Ed.D.)--The University of North Carolina at Charlotte, 2007.

The College Student Departure Inventory was developed to predict success in college. Drawing from D. Ford's (1987) Living Systems Theory, M. Ford's (1992) Motivation Systems Theory, and extensive research on student retention, this study empirically evaluated the construct validity of scores from this instrument. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses were conducted to determine the strength of the model while a hierarchical multiple regression was conducted to explain the influence of the nonacademic variables on student success as defined by first semester GPA. The CFA produced a baseline independence model where all factors were perfectly correlated with adequate measures of goodness of fit. Reliability scores for the subscales revealed some concerns, but the expectation subscale had strong reliability suggesting it is a tenable construct for predicting success. The hierarchical multiple regression revealed a statistically significant change in variance accounted for after the nonacademic predictor variables were entered into the equation. Furthermore, a stepwise regression further validated the expectation construct. While initial results indicate that this instrument may be a somewhat tenable measure of student success, closer attention to the underlying constructs is necessary to improve the results.Subjects--Topical Terms:
