Note. GPA = grade-point average. Raw correlation coefficients are below the diagonal. Values on the diagonal in parentheses are alpha reliability coefficients. Disattenuated coefficients are above the diagonal.

Asian and non-Asian minority variables are dummy coded so that the reference group is European American.

Female is dummy coded so that the reference group is male.

College GPA is the GPA assessment at the end of the fourth year of college.

Expected College GPA is the mean of the three expected GPA variables assessed at Week 1.

Cohen’s ds are reported for differences between adjacent assessments. Cohen’s d between the Week 1 and Year 4 assessment = .16.

p < .05.
