Examining Nationality, First Generation Status And Academic Identity Status As A Lens Into Student Achievement, Jennette Allen-Mccombs
Journal of Educational Research and Practice
This study investigates the relationship between academic identity statuses and academic achievement at a U.S. northeastern college where 55% of the population is first-generation students. Using Was and Isaacson’s (2008) Academic Identity Measure, I assessed four identity statuses (achieved, foreclosed, diffused, and moratorium) among 424 students. Multiple linear regression analysis revealed that achieved identity status had the strongest positive effect on grade-point average (GPA), while diffused identity status showed the most significant negative impact. Additionally, birthplace and mother’s educational status emerged as significant demographic predictors of academic achievement. The findings suggest that students with foreclosed or diffused identities struggle with …

Understanding how attachment styles influence nontraditional graduate students’ engagement is essential for advancing theoretical knowledge and developing targeted support systems in higher education. While research confirms that attachment styles affect academic outcomes, including perceptions of institutional support and learning environments, nontraditional graduate students remain underrepresented in engagement studies. Using Bowlby’s attachment theory as a guiding framework, this study investigated the relationship between secure, anxious, and avoidant attachment styles and behavioral, emotional, and cognitive engagement. The Attachment Style Questionnaire, University Student Engagement Inventory, and a sociodemographic survey were employed, with data analyzed through a one-way MANOVA.
