A comprehensive battery of tests designed primarily to measure nonintellective characteristics was administered to 112 students entering five associate degree nursing programs. At the end of two years, analyses of the entrance data revealed significant differences between the 73 graduates (those who completed the program on schedule) and the 32 nongraduates (those who dropped our of the program for various reasons). Seven students who remained in the programs but who had not completed the requirements were not included in the analyses. The data indicated that at the time of entry into their programs, those students who later completed the program on schedule were more mature--older and married, more achievement oriented, responsible, and self-controlled than dropouts. Successful students also manifested more accepting and nonjudgmental attitudes toward other people.
对进入五个护理学副学士学位项目的112名学生进行了一系列主要旨在测量非智力特征的综合测试。两年结束时，对入学数据的分析显示，73名毕业生（按时完成该项目的学生）和32名未毕业学生（因各种原因退出该项目的学生）之间存在显著差异。七名仍在该项目中但未完成要求的学生未纳入分析。数据表明，在进入项目时，那些后来按时完成项目的学生比辍学者更成熟——年龄更大且已婚，更有成就导向、更有责任感且自控能力更强。成功的学生对他人也表现出更包容和无偏见的态度。
