Abstract:
|
Women currently graduate from college at higher rates than their male peers. This research looks for explanations for this new trend within high school experiences. It is hypothesized that high school experiences have an effect on the likelihood of college graduation and that women will report more positive social experiences then men in high school. These experiences will increase their likelihood of college graduation. The analyses confirm these hypotheses. It was found that women do report having more positive social experiences than men in high school. Several of these experiences are positively related to graduation from college. |
