A series of level of aspiration measures was obtained from 421 students in a small liberal arts college. These were correlated with total grade average and with decile rank, as were high school grades, ACE scores, and CEEB scores. Students with small discrepancy scores tended to be successful; the level of aspiration measures was successful in differentiating graduates from nongraduates among students who had averages above C. The intercorrelations among the predictor variables suggest they measure a common factor. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2006 APA, all rights reserved). © 1959 American Psychological Association.
