Resilient At-Risk Students: Student Views about Why They Succeed.

McMillan, James H.; Reed, Daisy F.

Journal of At-Risk Issues, v1 n2 p27-33 Fall 1994

Studied perceptions of at-risk students in elementary, middle, and high school who were academically successful. Findings from 62 students from urban, suburban, and rural Virginia show the personality characteristics, dispositions, and beliefs that promoted academic success, regardless of background. Internal locus of control and a strong sense of self-efficacy were very important. (SLD)
