Thesis (M.S.)--California State University, Long Beach, 2008.

This mixed methods study was conducted to explore the relevance of persistence literature as it related specifically to low SES students and to provide insight into the motivators for persistence low SES students described as contributing to their success. This study was conducted at California State University, Long Beach (CSULB) and included 126 participants. The mixed methodology designed included the use of descriptive statistics, Pearson's Chi-square (X2), and Kendall's tau coefficient (tau) coupled with focus group interviews with 16 students to explore the persistence decisions of the low SES students in the sample.

520 $a This mixed methods study was conducted to explore the relevance of persistence literature as it related specifically to low SES students and to provide insight into the motivators for persistence low SES students described as contributing to their success. This study was conducted at California State University, Long Beach (CSULB) and included 126 participants.

520 $a For this sample of low SES students, many traditional and sociological correlates (i.e., gender, ethnic identification, parent's education, educational aspirations) of persistence were found to be unassociated with persistence. Nontraditional and psychological variables; however, (i.e., institutional/faculty support and self efficacy beliefs) were found to be significant supports for persistence. Finally, contemporary definitions of financial aid were challenged by participants.
