DESCRIPTION:Led by Christy Strauss\, Mélie Lewis\, & Robert Terry of The Un
 iversity of Oklahoma.  While academic factors such as high school GPA and 
 ACT and SAT scores significantly contribute to higher education success\, 
 there are often significant gaps in their ability to predict college reten
 tion. Research suggests a number of social and psychological factors can b
 e used to improve the predictive ability of purely academic model. The pre
 sent study will examine the contribution of five psychosocial factors in p
 redicting first-to-second year college retention: financial concerns\, aca
 demic engagement\, institutional commitment\, grit\, and growth mindset. T
 his study examined data from the 2014 New Student Survey\, a survey distri
 buted to all incoming freshmen at the University of Oklahoma. Factor analy
 tic techniques were used to organize survey questions into valid measures 
 of the factors of interest. Finally\, these constructs were explored in a 
 regression model to study the extent to which they are predictive of reten
 tion\, both singularly and among other well-known academic predictors. Res
 ults of a logistic regression suggest that students with higher academic e
 ngagement and lower financial concerns had a significantly higher probabil
 ity of retention when taking into account academic factors.
