Three withdrawal groups (Dismissals, Defaulters, and Dropouts) and two persister groups (Successful Persisters and Probation Persisters) were compared on a factor-analyzed scale of students' Role Orientations toward College (Vocational, Academic, Intellectual, Social Development, Consummatory Collegiate, Instrumental Collegiate, Ritualistic, and Greek). The Role Orientations Scale (Student Preference Schedule) was administered just prior to entering the university and the criterion groups were formed after one full academic year. A multiple discriminate analysis yielded a significant function which indicated that Defaulters and Successful Persisters as distinguished from Probation Persisters and Dismissals have stronger preferences for social development and vocational behaviors, moderate interest in academic, intellectual, and ritualistic activities, and a moderate dislike for collegiate behavior.
