Positive Identity

The major purpose of this study was to illustrate how the Appreciative Advising Inventory (AAI) can be used in student success programs to identify students' assets and strengths in order to promote their successful transition to college. The results of the study indicated that college students who are placed on academic probation shared internal assets related to their commitment to learning and positive values. The student success programming described in this study appeared to facilitate students' development of external assets, especially regarding boundaries and expectations, and constructive use of time. Students' positive values, positive identity, and support/connectedness were noted as indicators for their academic success in college. Implications of the study for college administrators, staff, instructors and students were also discussed.

Barriers And Challenges

Students are faced with many challenges before entering college. Those challenges make it difficult for students to reach degree attainment. Vulnerable populations are predisposed to barriers and challenges that impede their progress to achieving academic success. By integrating peer mentoring as a framework, we will better understand how to serve our vulnerable populations and the role higher education institutions play to meet students where they are. College administrators are typically responsible for strengthening the values, mission, and goals of the college. However, do they have a social responsibility to also make sure all students succeed? This chapter provides a student success tool that addresses some of those barriers while promoting student success. This chapter will provide the need for a mentoring program for college students and will discuss various peer mentoring models that can assist with retention and degree attainment.

This study aims to develop and validate a strength-based instrument for assessing the academic advising needs of university students in Hong Kong using the Appreciative Advising Inventory (AAI) as a blueprint. We reviewed the content validity and cultural relevance of the AAI and developed a 37-item AAI Hong Kong Version (AAI-HK). We conducted Rasch analysis and principal component analysis. The AAI-HK has four stable and reliable factors (social competence and support; positive identity and participation; positive values; and commitment to learning and study), which represent key strengths of university students. Four AAI-HK subscales demonstrate good reliability. We found significant differences in AAI-HK scores between students who are under academic probation or not and between students who are local or nonlocal.

Predict Academic Success

Scores on executive function scales were correlated with scores on attributes of positive psychology. Values were positive among gratitude, satisfaction, and the executive function scales of motivational drive, empathy, and strategic planning. If replicated and extended, such data may predict academic success in college students as in 13- to 14-yr.-olds.
