Using Noncognitive Variables to Predict the Grades and Retention of Hispanic Students.

Fuertes, Jairo N.; Sedlacek, William E.

College Student Affairs Journal, v14 n2 p30-36 Spr 1995

This 10-year study of 156 Hispanic college students revealed that their ability to identify and combat perceived interpersonal and institutional racism, as measured by the Noncognitive Questionnaire, predicted their grades their first 3 semesters in college. Noncognitive variables did not foreshadow Hispanic students' retention over a nine-semester period. (RJM)
