Many universities in the United States highlight service as an integral component to their mission. Additionally, a growing pedagogical focus highlights the importance of community service as an integral component of student development. The current study was an investigation of the factors associated with college student intentions to engage in volunteer community service. University students (N = 403) at a comprehensive university located in the southern plains completed an anonymous Web-based questionnaire to assess community service attitudes and intentions. Subsequent to testing for statistical assumptions, results from multiple regression analysis suggest that a sense of community connectedness, cost and benefit considerations, and the seriousness of community needs are significant variables in explaining variance in the intent to engage in community service.
美国的许多大学都强调服务是其使命的一个不可或缺的组成部分。此外,越来越多的教学重点突出了社区服务作为学生发展不可或缺组成部分的重要性。当前的研究是对与大学生参与志愿社区服务意愿相关因素的调查。位于南部平原的一所综合性大学的大学生(N = 403)完成了一份基于网络的匿名问卷,以评估社区服务态度和意愿。在对统计假设进行检验之后,多元回归分析的结果表明,社区联系感、成本和收益考量以及社区需求的紧迫性是解释社区服务参与意愿差异的重要变量。
