这项研究详细介绍了学生使用的过程和他们所考虑的信息，因为他们面临什么可能是他们的第一个重大的生活决定。 在一年的时间里，322名即将上大学的高中生参加了多达三次的调查，他们在调查中描述了他们对大学决定的想法。 在每一次会议上，学生们对他们查阅各种信息来源或参与不同决策活动的频率进行评分。 他们还列出了他们正在使用的标准的重要性，并列出了他们正在积极考虑的学校。 回答进行了分析，作为调查的时间，父母的教育水平，学术能力和性别的函数。 在这一年中，学生们考虑的标准数量和类型大致相同。 预计所寻求的信息和所开展的活动的种类会发生变化。 与其他能力水平的学生相比，能力较高的学生列出的标准明显更多，学校也略多（但不显著），尤其是在这个过程的早期。 在所寻求的信息和用于作出这一决定的标准方面出现了各种性别差异。
This study details the processes students use and the information they consider as they confront what is likely to be their first major life decision. Over the course of a year, 322 college-bound high school students participated in up to three survey sessions in which they described their thinking about college decisions. At each session, students rated the frequency with which they had consulted various sources of information or engaged in different decision-making activities. They also listed and rated the importance of the criteria they were using, and listed the schools they were actively considering. Responses were analyzed as a function of time of survey, level of parental education, academic ability, and gender. Throughout the year, students considered roughly the same number and type of criteria. There were expected shifts in the kinds of information sought and activities undertaken. Higher-ability students listed significantly more criteria and slightly (but nonsignificantly) more schools than did students of other ability levels, especially early in the process. A variety of gender differences emerged in the information sought and the criteria used to make this decision.
