Title

The relationship between high school sophomores’ purpose orientations and their postsecondary completion a decade later

Description

This study explored the relationship between high school sophomores’ purpose orientations and their postsecondary completion a decade later by examining the data from the Educational Longitudinal Study of 2002. Among four types of purpose (career, interpersonal, altruistic, and self-oriented), career and interpersonal purpose orientations were positively related to postsecondary completion. We discuss implications for school counseling and future research.
