| 10. Summer Program | .14 | .14 | .14 | .13 | .16 | .11 | .12 | −.01 | .00 |
Note. All correlations > |.09| are significant at p < .01. Since the summer enrichment program is a dichotomous variable, point biserial correlations between the summer program and the other variables are reported. GPA = grade point average; Career Intentions = 3rd year science-research career intentions; Science GPA = 3rd year science GPA; Courses Completed = 3rd year Science Courses Completed; Task Value is a second-order latent variable predicting first order latent variables for attainment value, utility value, and interest value; Research Exper. = Research experiences in the first year.
