Attitude Change in College Students: Examining the Effect of College Peer Groups and Faculty Normative Groups.
Milem, Jeffrey F.
Journal of Higher Education, v69 n2 p117-40 Mar-Apr 1998
A study used longitudinal data and data from a survey of faculty at the same institution to explore the relative influence of student peer groups and faculty reference groups on students' sociopolitical attitudes. Results are consistent with earlier work indicating that peer norms are more instrumental than faculty norms in influencing student attitudes. (Author/MSE)
