Absenteeism is becoming a major problem on the post-secondary level as some colleges struggle against declining enrollments. Three experiments designed to reduce absenteeism were carried out. In the first, randomly-selected subjects were contacted on the telephone by a “secretary” who expressed the professor's concern that students attend class regularly and study hard. In the second, the professor initiated three brief interpersonal contacts with randomly-selected students. As compared with a control group of uncontacted students the intervention reduced absenteeism in the first experiment but not the second. In the third, reward, punishment, and the combination thereof were manipulated. Punishment resulted in a marginally significant reduction in absenteeism compared to a control group. Exam scores were not significantly affected in any of the three experiments. Implications of the results were discussed. |
