本研究的目的是提供一个更好的理解博士研究的持久性和完成开发和验证辍学意图的预测模型。基于自我决定理论（SDT），该模型假定，感知能力降低辍学的意图，并认为感知能力是由自主和控制的规定，这反过来又预测由学生的顾问，教师以及其他研究生提供的心理需求支持。采用双管齐下的方法：1）完成者和未完成者的回顾性比较（N = 422），2）对两个孕期内入组的博士生进行前瞻性检查，以评估辍学意向（N = 1060）。总的来说，这两项研究的结果是相似的，并支持所提出的模型。具体而言，感知能力似乎是博士研究的持久性（完成和辍学的意图）的基石，主要是由自主和控制的法规和顾问的支持预测。这两个感知的支持顾问和教师辍学的意图，通过动机过程有间接的影响。(C)2015 Elsevier Inc.

The purpose of this study was to provide a better understanding of doctoral studies persistence and completion by developing and validating a predictive model of dropout intentions. Based on self-determination theory (SDT), the model posits that perceived competence decreases dropout intentions, and that perceived competence is explained by autonomous and controlled regulations, which are in turn predicted by perceived psychological needs support provided by the student's advisor, faculties as well as other graduate students. A two-pronged approach was used: 1) a retrospective comparison of completers and noncompleters (N = 422), and 2) a prospective examination of enrolled PhD students over two trimesters to assess dropout intentions (N = 1060). Overall, the findings of the two studies are similar and support the proposed model. Specifically, perceived competence appears to be the cornerstone of doctoral studies persistence (completion and dropout intentions) and is predicted mainly by autonomous and controlled regulations and advisor support. Both perceived support by advisor and by faculty have an indirect effect on dropout intentions through motivational processes. (C) 2015 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
