The Impact of Self-Selection and Reference Group Identification in a University Living-Learning Center

Fisher, Ronald J.; Andrews, John J.

Social Behavior and Personality, 4, 2, 209-218, 76

A co-educational living-learning center for the arts was studied through participant observation and quantitative assessment. The results document the importance of full self-selection into a membership group and demonstrate the relationships between reference group identification, basic interests in personality, and social behavior.
