• Do Reasons for Attending College Affect Academic Outcomes?: A Test of a Motivational Model From a Self-Determination Theory Perspective (2013, background): “Underrepresented students of color are also likely to have lower grade point averages than White and Asian American students, even after controlling for variables such as SAT scores, high school GPA, SES, school selectivity, and academic major (Bowen & Bok, 1998).”
• Does Affirmative Action Work? Caste, Gender, College Quality, and Academic Success in India (2016, background): “For example, Bowen and Bok (1998) find that at each 50-point SAT interval the probability of college admission in elite schools is considerably higher for black students than for comparable white students, so that a race-neutral admission policy would substantially reduce the overall probability of ”
• Understanding Educational Outcomes of Students from Low-Income Families (2003, background): “Thus, to get a sense of the extent to which these grade differences between income groups ‘‘explain’’ the family income differences in retention that were found earlier, the duration model was estimated including cumulative grade point average as a time-varying covariate.29 The coefficient on…”
• Differentiating Diversities: Moral Diversity Is Not Like Other Kinds1 (2003, background): “Bowen and Bok (1998) found that majorities of both Black and White respondents favor even more diversity in educational settings than is now in place.”
• Evaluating Impacts of Performance Funding Policies on Student Outcomes in Higher Education (2014, background): “Finally, we control for the selectivity of the institution, as several studies find this to be an important predictor of student success (bowen and bok 1998; titus 2006).”
• Race, Poverty and SAT Scores: Modeling the Influences of Family Income on Black and White High School Students’ SAT Performance (2013, unknown): “Indeed, the consistent relationship between family income and achievement has also been found with SAT performance (Benners & Everson, 2009; Bowen & Bok, 1998; Camara & Schmidt, 1999; Everson & Millsap, 2004; Zwick, 2004).”
• The Influence of Institutional Retention Climates on Student Persistence to Degree Completion: A Multilevel Approach (2009, background): “This work extends the work of Bowen and Bok (1998) who show the positive effect of attending highly selective institutions on students’ persistence decisions to also include institutions of lesser selectivity.”
