Research Concepts Matrix Please note that the first row of data is meant as an example. Please read the example article (Garriott, Hudyma, Keene, & Santiago, 2015) as a guide for how to dissect each article assigned. Reference Garriott, P. O., Hudyma, A., Keene, C., & Santiago, D. (2015). Social cognitive predictors of first and non-first- generation college students' academic and life satisfaction. Journal of Counseling Psychology, 62(2), 253-263. doi: Purpose of the study Statement of the Problem Limitations/Implica tions Ethical Conduct in the Study The purpose of the Many first- study was to extend the literature on the utility of Lent's (2004) normative model of well- being in predicting the academic and life satisfaction of college students and to test the full model replicate https://doi.org/10.103 past findings with previous samples. 7/cou0000066 generation college students experience higher education differently than their non-first-generation peers They may have different qualities than fellow students who aren't first generation including being enrolled in college part-time, lower- income, less active in extracurricular activities, and less academically prepared. The sample was not very diverse it was predominantly white students, which didn't represent the typical first- generation students limiting generalizability and females were over- represented. Because of the study sites being oriented toward first- generation students, the participants may have reported more support than if there were in other university settings. Researchers gained IRB approval, site permission from university administratio n and offered an incentive of entry into a raffle to win one of 10 $25 gift cards. Participants could choose not to answer questions about gender. Future Research Possibilities (e.g., How could a researcher extend the research detailed in the study?) Future studies could examine actual support rather than just perceived support. A longitudinal study could see long term effects of support. Research on actual interventions might be useful as well.
