Abstract
AbstractAs an initial step in the development of a study techniques program, this research examined some of the factors which contribute to college success. Tests of academic skills and attitudes were administered to 154 college freshmen. Analyses of variance and multiple linear regressions indicated that academic aptitude, study skills, and attitudes contribute to college success. Results also suggest that females obtain higher grades than males because females study more efficiently and accept academic standards more willingly. Polynomial regressions revealed non-monotonic relationships among study orientation, academic aptitude, and college grades. Within certain ranges, an increase in aptitude coincided with a decrease in study orientation. Thus within certain ranges, an increase in aptitude resulted in a decrease in grades.
