The Construct Validity of Student Engagement: A Confirmatory Factor Analysis Approach (2009, background): “Future research, as called for recently by Pascarella (2006), must seek to replicate these findings across and within institutional settings.”
Educational Experiences Associated With International Students’ Learning, Development, and Positive Perceptions of Campus Climate (2012, background): “Higher education researchers have called for research designs that specifically focus on the conditional effects of such educational experiences (Pascarella, 2006).”
The Relations of Ethnicity to Female Engineering Students' Educational Experiences and College and Career Plans in an Ethnically Diverse Learning Environment (2008, background): “…agenda based on the assumption that our undergraduate student population is made up of White undergraduates from middle or upper-middle class homes, ages 18 to 22, attending four year institutions full time, living on campus, not working, and having few family responsibilities (Pascarella, 2006).”
Mentors and College Student Leadership Outcomes: The Importance of Position and Process (2012, methodology): “Second, although we control for race and gender in the model, this research did not investigate the mentorship experiences by race and gender, despite increasing calls to do so (Pascarella, 2006) and mentoring literature that suggests the importance of matching by race and gender (Blackhurst, 2000; ”
The Effects of Student–Faculty Interaction on Academic Self-Concept: Does Academic Major Matter? (2014, background): “Specifically, contrary to a general college effect, a conditional effect assumes that the same intervention or experience might not have the same impact for all kinds of students (Pascarella 2006).”
Effective Instruction and College Student Persistence: Some New Evidence. (2008, background): “This would indicate a positive indirect effect of overall organized and clear instruction on persistence, mediated through the positive effects of organized and clear instruction on cumulative grades, satisfaction with the education being received, and degree plans (Alwin and Hauser, 1975; Pascarell”
Exposure to Effective Instruction and College Student Persistence: A Multi-Institutional Replication and Extension (2011, background): “This is quite similar to the earlier findings of Pascarella et al. (2008). Finally, our tests for the presence of conditional effects of exposure to organized and clear instruction on second-year persistence were nonsignificant.”
Student–Faculty Interaction in Research Universities: Differences by Student Gender, Race, Social Class, and First-Generation Status (2009, background): “’’ Specifically, contrary to a ‘‘general’’ college effect, a ‘‘conditional’’ effect assumes that the same intervention or experience might not have the same impact for all kinds of students (Pascarella 2006).”
The Impact of First-Year Seminars on College Students’ Life-long Learning Orientations (2013, methodology): “Controlling for the pretest measure allows us to more confidently attribute variation in the posttest measure to variations in the college experience measures, specifically the measure for participation in a first-year seminar (Astin & Lee, 2003; Pascarella, 2006).”
College Student Capacity for Socially Responsible Leadership: Understanding Norms and Influences of Race, Gender, and Sexual Orientation (2008, background): “Analyses should also be conducted for specific populations of students to better understand conditional effects (Pascarella, 2006).”
“I Am Working-Class” (2014, background): “As a prominent researcher in this field explained, “we can no longer plan an effective research agenda based on the assumption that our undergraduate student population is made up of White undergraduates from middle or upper-middle class homes” (Pascarella, 2006, p. 512).”
Latino Access to Community Colleges and Hispanic-Serving Institutions: A National Study (2011, background): “Understanding characteristics of students in HSIs and other minority-serving institutions has been identified as a key direction for future higher education research (Pascarella, 2006).”
Effects of Diversity Experiences on Critical Thinking Skills: Who Benefits? (2012, background): “This is somewhat surprising given mounting evidence that growing diversity in the American postsecondary student population is likely to give rise to an increased number of conditional effects in college impact research (Pascarella, 2006; Pascarella & Terenzini, 2005).”
Collaborative Learning and Critical Thinking: Testing the Link (2017, background): “This point is especially important, as this research design is one of the most effective ways to control for selection bias (Astin & Lee, 2003; Pascarella, 2006).”
Predictors of Long-Term Enrollment and Degree Outcomes for Community College Students: Integrating Academic, Psychosocial, Socio-demographic, and Situational Factors (2010, background): “Traditionally, most postsecondary research has involved four-year institutions, though research at the community college increased substantially during the last two decades (Pascarella, 2006).”
