University students often seek affiliation with student-led, content-based organizations. We explored student expectations and perceived benefits from affiliation in terms of perceived cohesion. We asked members from three student organizations to provide self-reported data about their expectations from affiliation, reasons for staying or leaving, and benefits received from membership. We found that a sense of belonging was the largest expected benefit from affiliation. Issues involving feelings of morale were the strongest reason for attrition.

参与基于内容的学生组织的感知好处

大学生经常寻求加入以学生为主导、以内容为基础的组织。我们在感知凝聚力方面探讨了学生的期望和从从属关系中感知到的好处。我们要求来自三个学生组织的成员提供关于他们对隶属关系的期望、留下或离开的原因以及从成员中获得的好处的自我报告数据。我们发现归属感是归属感的最大预期收益。涉及士气的问题是造成人员流失的最主要原因。
