Abstract: Referring to and in critical appreciation of the traditional college environment research in the USA theoretical premises and methodological problems of measurement are discussed.

This is particularly true of the German students, as has recently been pointed out by Dippelhofer-Stiem (1986, see also the article by the same author in this volume). Although this is clearly found to be the case among students in the economic subjects, «Students by no means uncritically conform to their environment.…”

“…Since the 1970s, extensive research regarding correlations between student experience and involvement and educational outcomes within the context of higher education has been undertaken (Pascarella & Terenzini, 1991). The general contention established is that strong student-faculty relations, particularly outside the classroom, are the most significant form of tertiary involvement (Astin, 1977(Astin, , 1999Bess, 1973;Dippelhofer-Stiem, 1986;Endo & Harpel, 1982;Pascarella, 1980;Pascarella & Terenzini, 1979). Astin (1993), in his study on how college environments affect student outcomes, contributed to an extensive body of literature which identifies student-faculty interaction as positively correlated to educational outcomes such as cognitive development, motivation, student persistence, institutional commitment and overall satisfaction with the university experience, while also contributing to enhanced personal growth and social development (Astin, 1999;Endo & Harpel, 1982;Jaasma & Koper, 1999;Kuh & Hu, 2001;Pascarella et al, 1996;Pascarella & Terenzini, 1991;Snow, 1973;Strauss & Volkwein, 2004;Terenzini & Wright, 1987;Tinto, 1997).…”
