  text: "The aim of this qualitative study is first to investigate the attitude development
    of students in their initial year at university. College effectiveness research
    has shown that attitudes towards studying as well as to one's university are key
    factors influencing student engagement. Up to now, little is known about the processes
    through which such attitudes develop. Based on the theory of planned behaviour
    (Ajzen & Fishbein, 1980), the study addresses this research gap in three parts:
    a) development paths of students' attitudes towards studying and the university;
    b) the normative behaviour of the fellow students as well as significant persons,
    c) university-related experiences during the first year influencing students'
    attitude development. \r\nTo answer these research questions, a series of five
    interviews was conducted throughout the first year with a total of 13 first-year
    students at the University of St. Gallen/Switzerland. Data analysis was performed
    referring to the procedures suggested by Neale (2012) for qualitative longitudinal
    data. To master the challenge of displaying developments over time, graphical
    analysis was used to construct a case history (cf. Henderson, Holland et al.,
    2012) for each individual. Regarding the students' developments over time, the
    analysis shows the participants' attitudes towards the university became more
    differentiated over time. A second major result concerns frictions between students'
    own attitudes and what they perceive to be the dominant normative behaviour. It
    became obvious that this developmental process is influenced by concrete incidents
    students experience during the first year and thus, can be shaped by structural
    changes."

  text: 'Die vorliegende Untersuchung an der Universität St. Gallen soll Erkenntnisse
    über die Verläufe der Einstellungsveränderungen der Studierenden geben (vgl. Brahm
    & Jenert, 2012). Basierend auf der Theorie des geplanten Verhaltens (Ajzen & Fishbein,
    1980) werden drei Forschungsfragen adressiert: (1) Gibt es typische Pfade der
    Einstellungsentwicklung? (2) Wie wird das normative Verhalten von Mitstudierenden
    und anderen Personen wahrgenommen? (3) Welche Erfahrungen beeinflussen die Entwicklung?
    Zur Beantwortung dieser Fragen wurde über das erste Studienjahr hinweg eine Interviewserie
    mit 13 Studierenden durchgeführt. Die Datenanalyse mithilfe grafischer Case Histories
    zeigt, dass die Einstellungen der Probanden über die Zeit differenzierter werden.
    Zudem gibt es Widersprüche zwischen den Einstellungen und dem wahrgenommenen normativen
    Verhalten. Dabei ist die Einstellungsentwicklung von konkreten Ereignissen geprägt
    und kann damit durch strukturelle Interventionen beeinflusst werden.'
