ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

Development of the annual National Norms for Entering Freshmen

is entirely a collaborative effort. * Since each member of the Staff of

the Office of Research assumed primary responsibility for some key

aspect of the total effort, authorship has been credited to the entire

research staff.

We should like to take this opportunity to express our appreciation

to Robert J. Panos and Dennis A. Dillon of the Survey Research Division

of National Computer Systems for their supervisory role in the processing

of the freshman questionnaires. We should also like to thank Charles R.

Beauregard, James C. Birch, Gerald F. Koch, Vernon F. Koch, Jean A. Lund,

and Gerold R. Westberg for the excellent job of quality control in the

printing, distribution, and document-to-tape processing of our question-

naires in Minneapolis.

Finally, we express our continued gratitude to the students,

representative~, and presidents of the cooperating institutions. Without

their support and interest, this project would not have been possible.

National Norms for Entering Freshmen: Fall 1970

This report presents national normative data on characteristics of

students entering colleges as first-time freshmen during the summer and fall

of 1970. It is the fifth in the series of annual reports which was initiated

in 1966 as part of the Cooperative Institutional Research Program conducted

by the Office of Research of the American Council on Education (Astin, ~. al.,

1967; Panos, ., 1967; Creager, et. al., 1968b; Creager, et., al., 1969).

The major purpose of this ongoing longitudinal research program is to determine

how students are affected by the colleges that they attend (Astin, ~. al., 1966).

As the first step in implementing this longitudinal research program in

any given year, a survey is made of entering freshmen through administration

of the Student Information Form. These data are weighted to provide a norma-

tive picture of the college freshmen population for use by persons engaged in
1
guidance, counseling, administration, educational research, :.and manpower studies.

Following the design of previous reports in this series, data are reported

separately for men and women, for several types of institutions, and for

different geographic regions of the country in 24 separate norms groups. Al-

though a total of 272,268 entering freshmen students at 425 colleges and

lThe data from the Student Information Form also provide initial input
information for longitudinal research. Follow-up surveys of individual
students in each cohort year are conducted at various points in time
after the initial survey of entering freshmen. Preliminary results from
follow-ups of freshmen surveyed in previous years have been published in
another ACE Research Report. In addition, follow-up institutional reports
have been sent as a continuing service to institutions that participated in
earlier years of the Cooperative Institutional Research Program (Bayer, • .!.!.,
1970).
-2-

universities returned data in time to be processed for inclusion in the

1970 survey, the normative data presented in this report are based on 180,684

freshmen entering 275 institutions. This difference between the total

participation sample and the normative sample results from imposing certain

quality controls and other technical requirements on the normative sample.

A participating institution was excluded from the normative data if it failed

to obtain either a complete or a representative sampling of its entering

freshmen class or if it administered the form after the first two weeks of

classes. These matters have been noted in the previous reports in this

series and are discussed more extensively in a special report dealing with

sampling and weighting procedures (Creager, 1968a).

The normative data presented in this report were collected by admin-

istering the 1970 Student Information Form to freshmen during registration,

during the period of freshmen orientation, or during the first two weeks

of classes. This survey instrument is designed to elicit a wide range of

biographic and demographic data, as well as data on the students' career

plans, past activities, behaviors, and attitudes. Data meeting quality control

requirements have been differentially weighted in order to be representative

of the population of entering freshmen students at all higher educational

institutions in the United States.

The Sampling Design

The sampling design for the 1970 survey of entering freshmen uses

essentially the same stratification procedure that was introduced with the

1968 survey. However, some minor modifications, which are described in

the following paragraphs, were introduced in 1970 to improve this design.

As in previous surveys, the defined population consists of all "e1igible l1


-3-

institutions of higher education listed by the United States Office of

Education in its annual Education Directory (USOE, 1970). An institution

was considered "eligible" if it was functioning at the time of the survey

and had a freshmen class of at least 30 students. Thus, institutions re-

quiring undergraduate credits for admission to their "first" class (for

example, some professional schools) and some very small institutions were

excluded. The defined population included all other accredited and non-

accredited institutions listed by the Office of Education, whether univer-

sities, four-year colleges, or two-year colleges. The eligible population

at the time of the 1970 survey consisted of 2,486 institutions of higher

education. This population was stratified into 37 cells as shown in Figure

1. The stratification cell structure, in conjunction with the sampling

of institutions within cells and of students within institutions, consti-

tutes a complex, mixed-strategy design based on several technical and logis-


. 1 conS1'd erat1ons.
t1ca . 2

The decision to modify the stratification design resulted from (1)

review and selective reassignment of the branch campuses of public universi-

ties for which no selectivity or affluence information was available previously

(cell 05 in prior surveys), (2) review of the predominately black institutions

to clarify their classification as universities, four-year colleges, or two-

year institutions, and (3) reassignment of those institutions which since 1968

have changed status with respect to one or more variables in the stratification

scheme (e.g., type of institution or control).

2Technica1 details about this sampling design and the weighting procedures
which are used to correct for the resulting disproportionate sampling of
institutions in each cell may be found in the 1968 national norms report
(Creager, et. al., 1968b) and in the previously noted special report
(Creager, 1968a).

Following the practice of the United States Office of Education, previous

surveys have treated the branch campuses of universities as "universities" for

purpose of assignment to stratification cells and inclusion in norm groups.

However, most of these branch campuses are clearly institutions with two-year

or four-year programs only. Consequently, for this survey, those branch campuses

with four-year programs were placed in stratification cell 09. Those branches

with two-year programs were placed in a new stratification cell, 37. A small

group of these institutions which are part of a larger university system, but

which also have post-baccalaureate and professional programs similar to those

of the parent institution, were retained in the "university" cell (05).

In order to insure that both two-year and four-year institutions with

predominately black student bodies were adequately represented in the sampling,

two-year predominately black institutions were removed from cells 34 and 35 and

reassigned to a new stratification cell, 36. A special effort, which was only

partly successful, was made to insure that this cell was well represented in the

sampling for 1970. It was anticipated that this cell, and the new cell 37 de-

scribed above, might have to be collapsed with other cells in the final weighting

procedures because only a few of the predominately black two-year institutions

responded to our formal invitation. It should be noted, however, that cell

separation forces attention to some critical problems in sampling and weighting

for this and any further surveys. On the other hand, cell separation is not

feasible for predominately black universities as there are only two such institu-

tions in the population.

Recent information about changes of status of certain institutions

required that they be reassigned to different stratification cells. Most

typical of such changes was the shift of some two-year colleges to four-year
-6-

colleges. The reverse shift occurred, but rarely. Additionally, four

colleges which do not appear on lists of predominately black institutions

were found to have predominately black student bodies on the basis of ACE

data in 1969. These institutions were shifted from their former cells into

the appropriate cell for black institutions (34-36).

Institutional Participation

The number of institutions invited to participate in the 1970 survey

of entering freshmen was 556. All 400 institutions that participated in the

1969 survey were invited to participate again this year. Of these, 37S (94%)

accepted once again, 24 declined, and one failed to respond. In order to

insure an adequate working sample and to reflect changes in the population

occurring since the sample was drawn for the 1969 survey, invitations were

sent to an additional 89 institutions, most of which were two-year colleges.

Of the 50 institutions that responded, 43 (86%) accepted the invitation.

Although a relatively lower rate of response has been characteristic more of

two-year than of four-year institutions, this is a marked improvement (Astin,

et. al., 1967). Another group of institutions (N = 67) that also received
invitations included 23 former participants that had been unable to participate

in 1969 and 44 institutions that either asked to be invited or had educational

programs of special interest to the staff. Of the 57 that responded to the

formal invitation to participate, 53 (93%) accepted.

Because of unforeseen administrative problems, 46 of the 471 institutions

that accepted our invitation were unable to return the completed forms in time

to be processed for inclusion in the national norms. Thus, data were obtained

from a total of 425 (90%) of the institutions that had agreed to participate

in the 1970 survey, including most of the institutions that participated in


the 1969 survey. Appendix 1 (pp. 61-73) contains a list of all institutions

which have participated in our Cooperative Institutional Research Program in

each of the five years, together with each institution's current stratification

cell assignment and an indication of the representativeness of its data for each

of the annual freshmen surveys.

As was the case in the four prior surveys, the national norms for entering

freshmen are based only on data from those institutions that are judged to have

obtained a reasonably representative sample of their entering freshmen classes.

A judgement is rendered primarily on the basis of the percentage of students

in the entering freshmen class who completed the 1970 Student Information Form

and on information about the manner in which the forms were administered.

After careful consideration of these matters for each participating institution,

it was decided to base the national norms for 1970 entering freshmen on data
3
provided by 275 of the institutions.

Weighting Procedures

Because of the disproportionate sampling from the 37 stratification cells,

the data obtained from students enrolling at institutions in the various cells

are differentially weighted. Moreover, the data are adjusted to correct for

less than 100% participation of students within individual colleges. This

correction is made separately by sex. Special care is taken to exclude from

the normative sample students who have transferred into the freshmen class

from other institutions.

Table 1 gives information about the institutions that were included in

the 1970 national norms. The table shows the number of colleges in each

participating institutions, those institutions whose data were considered
not to be representative have been informed that comparisons between their
institutional data and the national norms should be made with caution.

stratification cell, and the cell weights applied to each institution's data

in computing the national norms. The cell weights, listed in the last two

columns of Table 1, are the ratios, by sex, between the number of first-time,

full-time students entering all institutions in the eligible population within

a given cell, and the total number of first-time, full-time freshmen entering

ACE sample institutions in that cell. These weights are further adjusted

within each institution according to the proportion of the institution's

first-time, full-time entering freshmen who completed the questionnaire and

who reported their sex on the form. This second weight is typically near 1.0

and, in the case of an institution that obtains data from its entire freshman

class, will actually be 1.0. The final weight applied to each student's data

was the product of this within-institution participation weight and the appropri-
4
ate cell weight shown in Table 1.

The purpose of the weighting procedure is to adjust the summary data

presented in this report so that it is representative of all first-time, full-

time students entering institutions of higher education in the fall of 1970.

It is important to note that these data reflect the response of entering freshmen

prior to experience with college life.

The Student Information Form

The Student Information Form is designed to serve two functions:

first, to obtain student input data for longitudinal research; and second,

to obtain standard descriptive and normative data for informational purposes.

4
Note that the cell weight shown in Table 1 is a constant for each ACE sample
institutions in a given cell, whereas the within-institution weight is a
constant for a given college but varies from one institution to another, de-
pending on how adequately the particular institution "covered" its entering
class. An additional type of weight (not shown) is the "institutional weight".
This weight, defined as the ratio between the number of institutions in the
population within a given cell and the number of partiCipating institutions
whose data were used in computing the 1970 national norms, will be utilized in
studies where the institution (rather than the student) is the unit of analysis.

The form, therefore, contains standard biographic and demographic items that

have been administered annually to each entering class. It also contains

research-oriented items which are either new (e.g., Veteran Status) or which

are modifications of items used in previous years (e.g., racial categories

and types of high schools), This decision permits coverage of the widest

possible range of student characteristics and also represents a compromise

between two objectives: comparability of information from year to year and

flexibility in item content for the changing needs of longitudinal research.

These items in the 1970 Student Information Form which were also used in prior
5
surveys are summarized in Table 2.

A copy of the Student Information Form (SIF) is shown in Appendix 2 (p. 75).

This form is designed for self-administration under proctored conditions and

for processing onto magnetic tape by means of an optical mark reader. The

questionnaire has been developed in close collaboration with students, repre-

sentatives of professional associations, representatives of the participating

institutions, governmental agencies, and educational researchers and adminis-

trators. Information from these sources and from the students' responses to

earlier questionnaires have been helpful in designing the present form.

Four tape files are developed from the Student Information Form:

(1) an institutional summary file containing institutional identification

numbers and institutional summary of the responses for males and females,

(2) a file containing responses of each student and an identification number,

(3) a name and address file containing a second independent student identifi-

cation number (this file, which is used only to mail out the follow-up question-

5Several items (e.g., probable major field of study) have been recoded into
a smaller number of categories in the data presented in the norms report.
Because such coding schemes cannot satisfy all needs, the original questionnaire
responses and the recoding scheme used to report the data are shown in
Appendix 3 (pp. 83-85).

naires required to obtain longitudinal data, contains no data except the student's

identification numbers. This last file is maintained under an elaborate system

developed in order to maintain strict confidentiality of 'individual student

response data and to insure maximum protection against misuse of the name and

address file (Astin and Boruch, 1970).

1970 National Norms

Table 3 shows the numbers of institutions and of students on which the

1970 national norms are based, and an estimate, based on the weighting procedures,
6
of the total student popu1ation. The 275 institutions included in the national

norms are divided into two-year colleges, four-year colleges, and universities.

The institutions are then further divided into nine other categories (two-year

public colleges, two-year private colleges, technological institutions, four-

year public colleges, four-year private nonsectarian colleges, four-year

Protestant colleges, four-year Roman Catholic colleges, public universities, and

private universities). The first category shown in Table 3 includes all institu-

tions. In addition to these 13 categories, normative data are presented for 11

IIsupplementary" categories: four geographic regions,7 six sectarian categories

by sex and control, and predominately black institutions. Appendix 4 (p. 87)

indicates the relationship between the sampling design (stratification cell

assignment) and assignment of institutions to norms groups.

6These "head counts" of students entering different types of colleges are


based in part on reports of total first-time, full-time students in 1970
given by each of our institutional representatives. These reports are then
weighted in terms of the procedure described earlier.

7The assignment of states to a given region was based on the same criteria
as used by the United States Office of Education (USOE, 1970).
-13-

The items of normative data appear in the same order in the norms report
S
and in the individual reports furnished to each participating institution.

The first 24 pages of the national norms present item data separately for men,

women, and all students according to the first 13 categories shown in Table 3.

The following eight pages show regional norms for men, women, and all students;

and the last eight pages of normative data are similarly arranged for the

remaining seven categories of institutions listed in Table 3.

The different types of institutions can be compared on any given item

by examining the percentages in the row next to the item. Although for many

of the items the data differ substantially among categories of institutions,

it should be remembered that for most of the items reported here there is also

considerable variation within any category of institution.

Branch campuses of universities were also shifted to their appropriate

two-year and four-year designations (see above) for purposes of assignment to

norms groups. After consideration of the consequences of this reassignment,

it was decided that it was more important to reflect the realities of the

American system of higher education for the current year than to ensure complete

comparability with previous years. It must be recognized, therefore, that some

apparently sharp changes from the 1969 to the 1970 normative data for some items

may not necessarily be indicative of real changes in the student population

within a norm group, but instead may be artifacts of reassignment of institutions

to the norms groups. Special caution is therefore advised in attempting to

interpret time trends. Readers who wish to make such comparisons should examine

the separate norms for universities, four-year colleges, and two-year colleges.

If changes from 1969 to 1970 occurring within each of these groups are similar,

then the conclusion that they are real population changes is strengthened.

8A copy of an actual institutional report is shown in Appendix 5 (p. 91).

blncludes only liberal arts and teachers colleges.

CWeighted student totals are omitted. They are unreliable because there is no
stratification for region.

dThe definition of Nonsectarian Colleges for Men excludes all technological


institutions. This is consistent with the definition employed previously
except in 1967, when five technological institutions were included in the
definition of Nonsectarian colleges for Men.

The same caution should be heeded with respect to "head counts" presented

in Table 3. It should be noted that counts for universities and two-year

colleges are not comparable with previous survey reports. This is a result of

the reassignment of branch campuses from university cells to their more appro-

priate two-year and four-year norms groups. However, total "head counts" for

all institutions combined are comparable over time.

Precision of the Normative Data and Their Comparisons

While it is impractical to report statistical indicators of the precision

of every reported categorical percentage in every norms group, it is useful

to have some idea of the confidence that may be placed in the reported data.

Such considerations are nevertheless important in comparing data across the

1970 norms groups and across related item categories. Moreover, while reported

categorical percentages may be mUltiplied by the total number of students

estimated for a norms group in order to convert the data into frequencies,

(e.g., in estimating facility requirements in program planning), both the re-

ported percentages and the estimated number of students in a total group are

subject to sampling errors.

So far as random errors are concerned, the standard error of a categorical

percentage for the total normative sample is about 0.1%; it is somewhat larger

in the norms groups based on various sUbpopulations of the domain. For the

smallest norm groups~ the standard error may be as large as 2%. Because the

sampling design introduces no explicit control for regional differences among

institutions, somewhat less confidence can be placed in the regional norms.

The chief source of error in stratified sampling is the non-representa-

tiveness of samples within each stratification cell. Although reasonable


-16-

precautions. are taken to minimize known sources of systematic bias, the

reported data are subject to some unknown degree of constant and nonrandom

variable errors. The actual magnitude of such errors is unlikely to result

in adverse decision-making in higher education. Additional caution is neces-

sary, however, when a participating institution compares its own summary data

with the corresponding national norm group. This is especially true for the

smaller institutions and for those not testing all of their entering freshmen.

In spite of these potential hazards, communications from users indicate

that the national norms published in this series are highly useful, and are

sufficiently accurate to be used with confidence both in research and in

matters of practical concern to higher education. Additional analyses of

freshmen and follow-up data collected through the Cooperative Institutional

Research Program will be performed by the American Council on Education

at cost for any individual or organization requesting such analyses through

the ACE data-accessing system (Bayer, ~. ., 1969).

*Representative data, but not included in annual norms tabulations. In 1966


and 1967, it was possible to have representative data from the individual institu-
tion but not be included in the norms because the institution itself was not selected
randomly from the population of institutions. After 1967, any institution which
asked to participate in the program and had representative data has been included
in the norms for that year. (A few institutions in 1969 returned representative
data but were not included in the norms because their data were not received prior
to the publication of the 1969 National Norms Report).
**Representative data and included in the norms

aparticipation in the ACE Cooperative Institutional Research Program for a


given year indicates that institutional data had been submitted. Partici-
pation for 1970 is shown for those institutions which had submitted data
in time to be included in this publication.
