Abstract

In this study, we developed novel psychological scale measuring students' attitude toward their university （pro-university attitude）. Pro-university attitude was composed of two factors: affection for their university and desire for transferring to another university. Developed scale was turned out to have a high reliability and construct validity. Moreover, we examined the effects of （i） satisfaction with lectures, friendship and extracurricular activities and （ii） experience of learning about their university's history on pro-university attitudes. The results showed that students who satisfied with their university or who passed the exam of the lecture about their university's history formed high pro-university attitude. In accordance with these findings, possible educational methods supporting students who likely repeat a grade or drop out from university were discussed.
