Reliability and Validity01:29

Reliability and Validity

12.7K
Reliability and validity are two important considerations that must be made with any type of data collection. Reliability refers to the ability to consistently produce a given result. In the context of psychological research, this would mean that any instruments or tools used to collect data do so in consistent, reproducible ways.

Stereotype Threat and Self-fulfilling Prophecies

37.6K
When we hold a stereotype about a person, we have expectations that he or she will fulfill that stereotype. A self-fulfilling prophecy is an expectation held by a person that alters his or her behavior in a way that tends to make it true. When we hold stereotypes about a person, we tend to treat the person according to our expectations. This treatment can influence the person to act according to our stereotypic expectations, thus confirming our stereotypic beliefs. Research by Rosenthal and...

Cognitive Dissonance

32.6K
Social psychologists have documented that feeling good about ourselves and maintaining positive self-esteem is a powerful motivator of human behavior (Tavris & Aronson, 2008). In the United States, members of the predominant culture typically think very highly of themselves and view themselves as good people who are above average on many desirable traits (Ehrlinger, Gilovich, & Ross, 2005). Often, our behavior, attitudes, and beliefs are affected when we experience a threat to our...

Self-Discrepancy Theory

One influential perspective on what motivates people's behavior is detailed in Tory Higgin's self-discrepancy theory (Higgins, 1987). He proposed that people hold disagreeing internal representations of themselves that lead to different emotional states.

Social Loafing01:37

Social Loafing

34.8K
Another way in which a group presence can affect performance is social loafing—the exertion of less effort by a person working together with a group. Social loafing occurs when our individual performance cannot be evaluated separately from the group. Thus, group performance declines on easy tasks (Karau & Williams, 1993). Essentially individual group members loaf and let other group members pick up the slack. Because each individual’s efforts cannot be evaluated,...

Summary

Failing Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) requirements negatively impacts students long-term, reducing academic and job prospects. This policy disproportionately affects low-income students, worsening educational inequality.

Area of Science:

  • Higher Education Policy
  • Educational Economics
  • Student Financial Aid

Background:

  • Need-based financial aid often mandates Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP).
  • Understanding the impact of SAP requirement failures is crucial for policy evaluation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To examine the academic and labor market consequences of failing SAP for community college students.
  • To assess the distributional effects of SAP policies on different income groups.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized regression discontinuity and difference-in-difference designs.
  • Analyzed data for community college entrants in a specific state.

Main Results:

  • Short-term academic effects were heterogeneous.
  • Long-term (six-year) outcomes showed significant negative impacts on academics and labor markets.
  • Declines in credits attempted were substantially larger than declines in credits earned.
  • The policy disproportionately pushed low-income students out of college compared to higher-income peers.

Conclusions:

  • While SAP may enhance financial aid efficiency by reducing attempted credits, it harms student outcomes.
  • SAP policies exacerbate existing inequalities, particularly for low-income students.
  • Re-evaluation of SAP policies is needed to mitigate negative consequences and promote equity.
