Recipe for Success: Factors That Help Students to Succeed.
Motsinger, Hillery
NASSP Bulletin, v77 n554 p6-15 Sep 1993
A survey of 417 high-achieving high schoolers, 103 young prison inmates, and 105 dropouts enrolled in a GED program disclosed significant differences between high-achieving and less-successful adolescents regarding family background, interactions with parents, religious versus material orientation, self-motivation, and interest in school activities. Personality traits have little bearing, but positive school climate is essential. (MLH)
