This article addresses the development and validation of the Factors Influencing Pursuit of Higher Education (FIPHE) Questionnaire, a 92-item self-report measure that investigates factors that influence individuals to pursue higher education. Reliability estimates for the nine FIPHE scale scores ranged from .66 to .90. An exploratory factor analysis was conducted on data from a sample ( N = 509) of college students enrolled in two south-eastern universities. The data were subjected to principal components analysis with varimax rotation. Although the researchers hypothesized 10 scales for the questionnaire, the results revealed that a nine-factor solution produced the most interpretable factor patterns. The nine-factor solution accounted for 43% of the common variance. Limitations of the research and implications for future research are discussed.

“…2023.1253842 backgrounds, such as those who are deprived, immigrants, or belong to ethnic minority groups, face various barriers that hinder their academic progress (Chowdry et al, 2013). Research has indicated that a significant number of students encounter the glass ceiling effect, which is a phenomenon that arises when they perceive a lack of adequate preparation, knowledge, resources, and confidence to pursue their desired paths of higher education (Harris, 2015;Yuen et al, 2021). A critical factor leading to lower participation rates in higher education is the lower attainment rate of secondary education.…”

In India, the inequality in education from the perspective of first-generation learners has drawn little attention. So there is an urgent need to pay attention on the issue of how robust is the effect of first generation in causing educational inequality as the first-generation students are typically confronted with the dynamics of caste-based inequality in addition to their deficiency in the cultural and social capital. In this context, the purpose of the present study is to investigate the rationale behind first-and non-first-generation students' entry into higher education and factors which influence their decision. Methodology of the present study involves a mixed method approach, and data have been collected from the sample of 400 first-year students from Jammu and Kashmir State of India which comprises 200 first-and 200 non-first-generation students. Selfstructured questionnaire and semi-structured interviews have been used for data collection. Factor analysis and independent sample t-test have been used for analysis purpose. Findings of study highlight that perceived family influence, relative functionalism, self-efficacy and significant others to be less powerful factors affecting their pursuit of higher education than non-first-generation students.
