In 1964, Sociologist Walter L. Wallace did a study on the socialization patterns of college freshmen. His findings were published in the article “Institutional and Life-Cycle Socialization of College Freshmen” in the November 1964 issue of the American Journal of Sociology. Wallace studied the change in the level of importance that grades and graduation aspirations played among the freshmen during the first seven weeks of college. At an unnamed American university, 327 freshmen were given a questionnaire at the beginning of the school year in September and then again seven weeks later in November to measure the students changes in attitude regarding grades and graduation aspirations. In September 78% of male students and 74% female students said that getting high grades was very important. In November 50% of male students and 35% of female students said that getting high grades was very important. The students said this decreases was due to them wanting to focus more on extra-curricular activities and socializing. According to the survey, the more students a freshman knew, the less they said that getting good grades was important. The graduate aspirations of the freshmen also changed as they became more assimilated to the academic community. In September 49% of male students and 27% of female students wanted to attend graduate or professional school, while in November 70% of male students and 37% of female students wanted to attend graduate or professional school. This increase was due to the fact that the freshmen had been engaging with the upperclassmen, the majority of whom wanted to attend graduate or professional school. Wallace concludes that this decline in the importance of grades and the increase in the graduation aspirations are a result of individual socialization and the impact of the college environment on the freshmen.
