In this landmark work, Kenneth Feldman and Theodore Newcomb review and synthesize the findings of more than 1,500 studies conducted over four decades on the subject. Writing in 1991, Ernest Pascarella and Patrick Terenzini maintained that The Impact of College on Students not only provided the first comprehensive conceptual map of generally uncharted terrain, but also generated a number of major hypotheses about how college influences students. They also noted that Feldman and Newcombe helped to stimulate a torrent of studies on the characteristics of collegiate institutions and how students change and benefit during and after their college years from college attendance. The Impact of College on Students is now a standard text in graduate courses as well as a standard and frequently cited reference for scholars, students, and administrators of higher education. Much of what we understand about the developmental influence of college is based on this work.
Kenneth A. Feldman is professor of sociology at the State University of New York at Stony Brook. His work has appeared in a wide array of professional literature including American Educational Research Journal, Sociology of Education, American Sociological Review, Journal of Social Psychology, and many articles in Research in Higher Education. Theodore M Newcomb was, before his death, a professor of sociology and psychology at the University of Michigan. He published widely in areas of personality and attitude change, group membership and attitude formation, communication behavior, interpersonal attraction, and higher education.
