Identifier	Thesis 2219
Author	Mastrobattisto, Samantha Rose, 1987-
Title	College students' perception of friendship and retention
Publisher	Central Connecticut State University
Date	2012
Resource Type	Master's Thesis
Notes	The purpose of this study was to explore how students understand their college relationships. Specially, how this understanding impacts their college persistence. The assumption of the principle investigator (PI) was that there is a positive relationship between personal interactions and college persistence. Ten Central Connecticut State University (CCSU) students were asked a series of 16 interview questions. The intent of the questions was to assess whether students feel as though social interactions have a positive effect on college persistence. The results were coded for the purpose of discovering themes and formulating conclusions. In general participants in this study do feel as though social interactions have an effect on college persistence. This research was unique because most previous research (Jones & Williams, 2004) only focused on personal interactions and one other factor, such as race, when referring to college persistence. This study intended to explore how race, gender, residence status, and other factors all relate and have an effect on college persistence. Limitations of this research included a small sample, having a limited time period to conduct research, and a sample of students that was less diverse than would have been desirable. Questions for future research would refer to drug and alcohol use and sexual activity. Research related to college retention is needed. Poor college retention is an issue. There is a need to understand why students are not persisting in college
