The study conducted involved assessing students from a Southeastern public university during two academic years, after their participation in an all-male sexual assault peer education program. findings revealed that 79% of 184 college men reported attitude change, behavior or both.

Further, belief systems women within organizations received little attention. As such, current study sought as an initial exploration groups. Participants were recruited from students entering service academies...

A racially mixed random sample of 247 students at a midsized public university in the Southeast completed Student Development Task and Lifestyle Inventory beginning their first year, sophomore end senior year (Winston, Miller & Prince, 1987). Results showed partial support Chickering Reisser's theory development that progressed along three measured vectors throughout college career. contradicted assumption developing purpose is vector experienced only toward one's Important gender...

The effects of time spent in cocurricular activities on academic performance was tested. A curvilinear relationship between hours per week involved and grade point average discovered such that a low amount involvement beneficial to grades, while high can potentially hurt college students.
