在有组织的成人教育中，一个全面的参与理论必须考虑至少三种类型的行为--不参与、参与和辍学。基于经验的参与动机和威慑类型已经被开发出来。没有人试图确定与辍学相关的变量的因素结构。本研究通过对以往辍学研究中选取的变量进行因子分析，对辍学相关变量的理论类型学的有效性进行了实证检验。人们普遍证实了这一类型，并注意到了与Darkenwald和瓦伦丁(1985)威慑结构的相似和不同。辍学类型学对指导未来的研究以及提醒成人教育实践者注意一系列影响辍学的因素可能是有价值的帮助。
A comprehensive theory of participation in organized adult education must consider at least three types of behaviour—nonparticipation, participation, and dropout. Empirically-based typologies of motivations and deterrents to participation have been developed. No attempt has been made to identify a factor structure of variables associated with dropout. In this study the validity of a theoretically-based typology of variables associated with dropout was empirically tested through factor analysis of variables selected from previous dropout research. There was general confirmation of the typology and similarities and differences to Darkenwald and Valentine's (1985) deterrents construct were noted. The dropout typology could be a valuable aid in guiding future research as well as alerting adult education practitioners to a range of factors that have influenced dropout.
