Abstract | The principal aim of this study was to investigate the impact of type of college, place of residence, and reference group identification on college environmental perception. An attempt was made to measure the variability in terms of college perception that existed among students in the following subgroups: (1) sophomore male students attending 3 small colleges; (2) sophomore male students distributed among different residence arrangements within each college; and (3) sophomore male students maintaining different patterns of reference group identification within each college. The observations suggest that the college environment as a whole is a major determinant of variation in college environmental perception. However, the results of this investigation also indicate that differentiated parts of the college environment (such as residence and reference identification) significantly affect student perceptions of college environmental characteristics. The appendix includes the survey questionnaire. (Author/PG) |
