Abstract
The purpose of this study was to construct a psychometrically sound inventory that could predict college academic success from students' study habits and attitudes. Success was measured in terms of grade point average. A 37-item inventory was constructed and twice revised by removing ineffective items after being administered to samples of 128 and 56 students. The final 31-item inventory was both reliable and valid. Strong correlations were found between both goal-setting and self-concept and academic success. A curvilinear relationship was found between study time and academic success.
