Factor Structure of Deterrents to Public Participation in Adult Education.
Darkenwald, Gordon G.; Valentine, Thomas
Adult Education Quarterly, v35 n4 p177-93 Sum 1985

Data from the 215 respondents yielded six deterrence factors--lack of confidence, lack of course relevance, time constraints, low personal priority, cost, and personal problems--that are useful in building future adult education programs.
