| This research examines the significant differences between the self-perception of traditional and nontraditional college students personal life skills. The personal life skills measured were self-esteem, assertion, drive strength, decision making, time management, commitment ethic, stress management, aggression, and deference using the Personal Skills Map. One hundred and seventeen Texas A&M University-Kingsville students were participants. A t-score statistic from the mean score of each category was used in the analysis of the data where a confidence level of.05 was considered viable for rejection of the hypotheses. The results failed to support any of the hypotheses except for hypothesis three. The implications of this is that the self-perception of nontraditional college students personal life skills is not significantly different from traditional college students at Texas A&M University-Kingsville. |
