Reflection of Social Cognitive Predictors of First- and Non-First-Generation College Students’ Academic and Life Satisfaction Summary Patton O. Garriott, Aaron Hudyma, Chesleigh Keene, and Dana Santiago have conducted a study known as, â€Å"Social Cognitive Predictors of First- and Non-First-Generation College Students’ Academic and Life Satisfaction.† The purpose of this study was to further explore Lent’s (2004) model which predicted college students’ life and academic satisfaction. The researchers came up with two main hypotheses to find data to either support or reject. For this study, 414 college student participated. Participants were attending either a four-year university in the Rocky Mountains (n = 11) or a four-year university in the Mid-western (n = 303). Participants were asked to identify as either a first-generation college student or a non-first-generation college student; 215 students had identified as first-generation college students, and 199 had identified as non-first-generation college students. Class rank was also collected for the data; there were 84 freshman, 90 sophomores, 104 juniors, 130 seniors, and three students did not identify their class rank. In this study, both academic satisfaction and college outcome expectations were measured. By using a seven-item scale, previously used in Lent’s research, students were asked to rate their academic satisfaction level on Likert scale which ranged from 1 (strongly disagree) to 5 (strongly agree).
