Cognitive and Environmental Factors Influencing Behavioral Patterns Among Student Leaders

Abstract

Student leader behavioral patterns are increasingly inconsistent. This study aimed to examine the influence of cognitive factors and environmental factors among student leaders was verified. Diagnostic research design, total enumeration sampling, survey technique, and multiple linear regression analysis are the methods used in this study. The data collected from 200 student leaders showed that both determinants significantly influenced the criterion, partly support the Social Cognitive Theory. Future research may include 43% of unexplained variance in student leader behavioral patterns, while one-on-one coaching sessions guided by faculty mentors to improve behavioral patterns is suggested.
