Abstract

The purpose of this study was to examine the reliability, construct validity, and predictive validity of the Non-Cognitive Questionnaire for different racial groups. The questionnaire had adequate test-retest reliability, and evidence for its construct validity was provided. It significantly added to predicting grades for both White and Black subsamples and significantly predicted persistence for the Black subsamples.
