First-Generation College Student Belongingness & Academic Behaviors

Presentation Type

Oral Presentation

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to better understand the theorized relationship between belongingness and academic behaviors in first-generation college students, those whose parents did not attend college. Belongingness has been found to be an influential variable in first-generation college students’ adjustment to college, yet research has not focused on belongingness' association with student's academic behaviors. The relationship found between feelings of belongingness and their academic success would have major implications for future research and interventions that would likely improve the retention of these students.
