Abstract:
Represents a paradigm shift in the student success literature, moving away from a focus on engaging in effective educational experience to ensure student success toward examining the psychological factors underlying engagement behaviors. Grounded in positive psychology, the thriving concept reframes the student success conversation by focusing on the high levels of academic, interpersonal, and intrapersonal performance in the college environment -- from cover.
