Abstract

The current study further explored the relationship between nontraditional students and academic entitlement. Previous research has established that the presence of more nontraditional factors predicts lower levels of reported academic entitlement. The mechanisms responsible for this connection have not been explored though. The current study examined the impact of locus of control on the relationship between nontraditional factors and academic entitlement. Participants ( N = 332) were asked to report their status on seven nontraditional factors and then completed measures exploring locus of control, academic entitlement, work engagement, and academic motivation. Analyses revealed that nontraditional factors predicted lower levels of external locus of control and external locus of control was negatively correlated with academic entitlement. Evidence for partial mediation was found for this relationship. The impact of these findings on nontraditional students, retention, and academic interventions is discussed.

控制点在非传统因素与学术权利关系中的中介作用

本研究进一步探讨了非传统学生与学术权利之间的关系。先前的研究已经证实，更多非传统因素的存在预示着报告的学术权利水平较低。然而，造成这种联系的机制尚未探索。目前的研究考察了控制点对非传统因素与学术权利之间关系的影响。参与者（N=332）被要求报告他们对七个非传统因素的状况，然后完成探索控制点、学术权利、工作参与和学术动机的测量。分析显示，非传统因素预测外部控制源水平较低，外部控制源与学术权利呈负相关。为这种关系找到了部分调解的证据。讨论了这些发现对非传统学生、保留和学术干预的影响。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
