这项研究的主要目的是在社区大学注册的黑人男性学生中识别预测第一年坚持的变量。具体地说，本研究在四个领域探索了持续性变量：1)背景/定义变量，2)学术变量，3)社会变量，4)环境变量。这项研究中使用的数据来自对公立两年制大学黑人男性的教育纵向研究。多因素Logistic回归分析显示，参加校内体育活动、课外活动、与教职工交谈、学习习惯、每周工作时间、支持他人、生活压力等因素对持续性有预测作用。总而言之，研究结果表明，与其他领域的变量相比，环境变量对持久性的预测要强得多。对实践和未来研究的意义进行了扩展。
The primary goal of this study was to identify variables predictive of first-year persistence among Black male students enrolled in community colleges. Specifically, this study explored persistence variables in four domains: 1) background/defining variables, 2) academic variables, 3) social variables, and 4) environmental variables. Data used in this study were derived from the Education Longitudinal Study from Black males in public two-year colleges. Hierarchical logistic regression analyses indicated that participation in intramural sports, extracurricular activities, talking with faculty, study habits, hours worked per week, supporting others, and life stress were predictive of persistence. In all, findings indicated environmental variables were substantially more predictive of persistence than variables in other domains. Implications for practice and future research are extended.
