The Integrated Student Choice Model and Theory of Planned Behavior are used to frame an analysis of longitudinal student data. We utilize generalized structural equation modeling to evaluate our framework and to examine the impact of select student characteristics and college experiences on actual involvement in study abroad, giving particular attention to the role of intentions. Study results generally confirm prior findings and provide general support to our framework underscoring the importance of considering the temporal aspect of decisions to study abroad and the strength of intentions when estimating its effect on participation. Findings highlight student attributes associated with intentions that differ in strength and patterns of institutional characteristics and student attitudes, subjective norms, behavioral control beliefs, intentions, and campus involvement that shape individuals' decisions to study abroad. Our findings provide insights into why prior study results regarding antecedents of intentions and the impact of intentions on study abroad participation may vary. We offer insights into how to advise and market programs to individuals who enter with different levels of motivation to study abroad.
综合学生选择模型和计划行为理论被用于构建对纵向学生数据的分析。我们运用广义结构方程模型来评估我们的框架，并考察特定学生特征和大学经历对实际出国留学参与情况的影响，特别关注意图的作用。研究结果总体上证实了先前的发现，并为我们的框架提供了普遍支持，强调了在估计出国留学决策对参与度的影响时考虑决策时间因素和意图强度的重要性。研究结果突出了与意图相关的学生属性，这些属性在机构特征和学生态度、主观规范、行为控制信念、意图以及校园参与度的强度和模式方面存在差异，而这些因素塑造了个人出国留学的决策。我们的研究结果有助于理解为什么先前关于意图前因以及意图对出国留学参与度影响的研究结果可能会有所不同。我们还为如何向具有不同出国留学动机水平的个人提供项目建议和进行项目推广提供了见解。
