| Abstract | This paper reports on the feasibility of "The Study Place Project" (TSP[superscript 2] ), a novel intervention designed to improve academic achievement and retention for first-year college students. Our aim was to provide students with regular study sessions in a minimal distraction environment, allowing them to apply their own strategies and abilities to accomplish their personal academic goals. The six-week intervention, conducted with students in their first semester of college, predicted significantly higher GPAs and greater first-year retention. This pattern was largely replicated with a sample of upper division participants. Our results also revealed an interesting pattern of relations between study, academic performance, and psychological well-being. TSP[superscript 2] provides a sustainable approach that may help students to overcome academic challenges of college life. (As Provided). |
