A Method for Investigating College Student Peer Group Holding Power

Pages 66-68 | Published online: 29 Jan 2015
 

Abstract

The interaction of group prestige among groups, dissonance of new member attitudes with those of the established group, and homogeneity of established group attitudes, were dependent variables studied. Groupattrition rate was the independent variable. The data consisted of attitude scores, group prestige ranks, and attrition statistics. Analysis was by the method of partial correlations. College fraternity chapters (N = 19) were the subject groups. It was concluded that no differences exist on the dimensions posited, however, trends of results seemed to support the theoretical notions. The method utilized should be explored further.
