Adult High School Noncompleters: Toward a Typology of Psychosocial Development.
Martin, Larry G.
Adult Literacy and Basic Education, v8 n1 p1-20 1984
This study challenged the assumption that all adults who did not complete high school are representative of the same low literate population. The 15-month qualitative study entailed conducting 79 in-depth biographical interviews with a diverse group of subjects. Several underlying concepts appeared to influence the adult development of the subjects: deviance, self-esteem, and setting and achieving goals. (Author/CT)
