An Examination of the Social Factors Determining Successful Training Performance of Participants in Ex-Offender Manpower Programs: A Model for Predicting School Behavior

This research assessed the relative contribution of various behavioral and cognitive factors in predicting the training performance of participants in ex-offender manpower training programs. A model for predicting social behavior developed by Triandis (1971, 1977) provided the theoretical framework for the study. Operationalization of the components in Triandis' model related measures used by behaviorists (i.e., habits) and cognitive psychologists (i.e., behavioral intentions) to various indicators of training program performance (i.e., training program completion, voluntary withdrawal from the training program with outside employment secured, voluntary withdrawal from the training program without outside employment secured, and non-voluntary withdrawal from the training program).
