Abstract | School attachment has received considerable attention in K-12 literature but it is relatively unexplored at the post-secondary level. The university attachment scale (UAS) is a new instrument designed to bridge this gap and previous research suggests transfer students score lower on group attachment than non-transfer students. However, these findings are limited to a population of primarily residential and traditional 4-year university students. This study re-examines the factor structure of the UAS at an institution with a large transfer student population and compares the latent means between traditional (N = 561), transfer (N = 372) and online (N = 50) students. These results of this study and their implications for higher education are discussed. (Contains 5 tables.) (As Provided). |
