Applying Pluralistic Ignorance to Student Engagement: One Item Set, Two Studies
Pluralistic ignorance generally refers to “erroneous cognitive beliefs shared by two or more individuals about the ideas, feelings, and actions of others” (O’Gorman, 1986, p. 333). This is a classic construct in social psychology, generally known as a means of exploring negative or risky behaviors of college student populations like drug and alcohol use (Suls & Green, 2003) or sexual behaviors (Kuperberg & Padgett, 2017). But how might it relate to a more modern and positive college student experience?

Webinar Notes: Lessons from the 2022 NSSE Advising Topical Module
Good academic advising is central to student success. Yet, students’ advising experiences can be uneven and advising tends to be one of the more under-supported campus services. This may be why only about half of students responding to NSSE describe the quality of the advising they receive as very good or excellent. This webinar offers an opportunity to consider the most recent results about first-year students’ academic advising experience from NSSE 2022 and the Academic Advising Topical Module. We will highlight salient results across three institutional types – doctoral, masters and liberal arts – and discuss the dimensions of advising practice that deserve attention as institutions across the country invest in improving academic advising to provide holistic support.
