Abstract

This study examined the validity of seven academic support scales and their relationships with demographics, achievement and retention of diverse college students. In study one, 207 students completed an online survey containing five scales assessing student perceptions of faculty, university, family and peer supports. Exploratory factor analysis results supported the hypothesized five-factor structure. In study two, 633 students responded to the five initial scales and two additional scales related to family and peers to replicate and extend the factor structure. EFA results supported the hypothesized seven-factor structure. In study three, we examined relationships between the academic social support scales, student demographics, college GPA and fourth semester retention. Demographic differences were present on student perceptions of faculty, university community, family academic discussions, family college persistence, and family financial supports. Moreover, the academic social supports predicted college GPA across four semesters and fourth semester retention. Implications for research and practice are discussed.

不同类型大学生学业社会支持的考察
本研究考察了七种学业支持量表的效度及其与人口统计学、学业成就和留校率的关系。在研究一中,207名学生完成了一项在线调查,其中包含五个量表,评估学生对教师、大学、家庭和同伴支持的看法。探索性因子分析结果支持假设的五因子结构。在研究二中,633名学生对五个初始量表和两个与家庭和同伴相关的额外量表进行了回应,以复制和扩展因素结构。EFA结果支持假设的七因素结构。在研究三中,我们考察了学业社会支持量表、学生人口统计学、大学GPA和第四学期留校率之间的关系。学生对教师、大学社区、家庭学术讨论、家庭大学坚持和家庭经济支持的看法存在人口统计学差异。学业社会支持对大学四学期GPA和第四学期留校率有预测作用。讨论了对研究和实践的启示。

期刊介绍: Journal of Psychological and Educational Research is a scientific review, appearing biannually, which publishes scientific materials belonging to all the fields of psychology. The emphasis falls on empirical studies, but it may include reviews, theoretical or methodological papers in psychology. Empirical papers with a strong theoretical framework and/or models of computational parameters are particularly encouraged. Theoretical papers of scholarly substance on abnormality may be appropriate if they advance understanding of a specific issue directly relevant to psychology and fall within the length restrictions of a regular (not extended) article. As a journal that focuses on researches within a quantitative, scientific remit, Journal of Psychological and Educational Research places particular emphasis on the publishing of high-quality empirical reports based on experimental and behavioural studies
