本文报告了两项研究的结果，这些研究的客观识别因素可以预测学业上成功的和有风险的新生工程专业学生。参与者是东南部一所中型大学工科新生的志愿者。成功的表现被定义为以 2.0 或更高的绩点完成大一学年。在研究的第一年，12 个变量，无论是单独的还是不同的组合，都与绩点比相关。预测变量的最佳组合包括学业成绩的衡量（SAT 总分和预测绩点比）和职业决策量表中的选定项目（Osipow、Carney、Winer、Yanico 和 Koschier，1976 年）。第二年重复了这项研究，使用第一年的参数来预测成功的学生和有失败风险的学生。讨论了这些结果的含义，并建议对职业犹豫不决和学业成绩的相互作用进行扩展研究。
This article reports the results of two research studies, which had as their objective identifying factors, that would predict both the academically successful and at-risk freshmen engineering students. The participants were volunteers from the entering freshman class of engineering students at a medium sized southeastern university. Successful performance was defined as completing the freshman year with a grade point ratio of 2.0 or higher. In the 1st year of the study, 12 variables, alone and in various combinations, were correlated with grade point ratio. The best combination of predictor variables included the measures of academic performance (SAT-Total score and Predicted Grade Point Ratio) and selected items from the Career Decision Scale (Osipow, Carney, Winer, Yanico, & Koschier, 1976). The following year the study was replicated, using the 1st year parameters to predict successful students and students at risk of failing. Implications of these results are discussed and extended research into the interaction of career indecision and academic performance is suggested.
