Using Multiple Measures to Make Math Placement Decisions: Implications for Access and Success in Community Colleges (2015, background): “2012; ETS 2013), which identify noncognitive attributes associated with student success in college and are predictive of student performance and persistence (Allen et al. 2008; Robbins et al. 2006).”
Construction And factorial validation of a short version of the Academic Motivation Scale (2021, background): “On the other hand, low academic motivation has been associated with low achievement, higher dropout, and more difficulties in progressing one’s studies (Allen et al., 2008; Campbell, 1973; Gnambs & Hanfstingl, 2016).”

Can learning be virtually boosted? An investigation of online social networking impacts (2010, background): “Allen et al. (2008) also demonstrate that college students' social connectedness significantly affects their college commitment and retention.”
How Sound Is NSSE?: Investigating the Psychometric Properties of NSSE at a Public, Research-Extensive Institution (2011, background): “There is evidence that GPA is one useful measure (Allen et al., 2008; Baird, 1985; Carini, Kuh, & Klein, 2006; Pascarella & Terenzini 2005; Tinto, 1993), and cumulative GPA is often a criterion for graduation.”
