Attrition rates for Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) programs in the United States across the fields of engineering, life sciences, social sciences, mathematics and physical sciences, and humanities range from 36 - 51%. A qualitative literature review indicates certain factors may impact the PhD student's success in completing the program and degree. The factors focused on in this review include the student-advisor relationship, mentorship, and the dissertation process. Although kinesiology doctoral programs are evaluated and ranked by the National Academy of Kinesiology, little information is available exploring kinesiology PhD student success. General information on PhD student success may, therefore, be valuable to kinesiology PhD students and programs.
在美国,工程学、生命科学、社会科学、数学与物理科学以及人文学科领域的哲学博士(PhD)项目的淘汰率在36%至51%之间。一项定性文献综述表明,某些因素可能会影响博士生完成项目和获得学位的成功率。本综述所关注的因素包括学生与导师的关系、指导以及论文撰写过程。尽管运动机能学博士项目由美国国家运动机能学学会进行评估和排名,但关于运动机能学博士生成功情况的研究资料却很少。因此,有关博士生成功的一般信息可能对运动机能学博士生及其项目具有重要价值。
