This book was released on 2016 with total page 77 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite efforts to increase underrepresented student enrollment, Students of Color continue to have significantly lower college retention rates compared to their White counterparts on many U.S. college campuses. This study investigated associations between general ethnic discrimination, emotional adjustment to college, and attachment to college in Students of Color at one predominantly White public institution in the Southeastern U.S. Students who were the first in their immediate family to attend college were compared to those with a parent who attended college. Social support from family and friends at home, as well as social integration in school were investigated as buffers of the impact of perceived discrimination. General ethnic discrimination stress was found to be a predictor of personal emotional adjustment. Social support and social integration were both predictors of personal emotional adjustment and institutional attachment. There were no significant buffering effects either for social support from home or from college. First-generation Students of Color were found to be at higher risk of experiencing lower levels of adjustment to college and higher frequency and stress of general ethnic discrimination.
Download or read book Ethnic Identity and Social Support Influences on Social and Academic Adjustment of Minoritized Students in Two College Contexts written by Aygul Hoffman and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study focused on examining social and academic adjustment of Students of Color in two ethnically different higher education contexts: one - predominantly White, another - diverse. In particular, the associations between minoritized students' ethnic identity, college-level support and social and academic adjustment in these institutions were explored. The study confirmed the developmental significance of Phinney's achieved ethnic identity for college Students of Color regardless of institutional context. Support from both ethnically and not ethnically affiliated sources was consequential for minoritized students' college adjustment. The study also affirmed the importance of general social support from peers and faculty over and above ethnic identity for minoritized students' social and academic adjustment. Contrary to predictions, no differences in regression paths for ethnically and not ethnically affiliated sources of support were found between two institutional contexts. The study extends Phinney's theory of ethnic identity development to the study of college adjustment and offers practical implications on predictors of minoritized student college adjustment.

Book excerpt: Racial factors have been shown to play a role in the adjustment of African American college students attending predominantly White institutions (Ancis, Sedlacek, & Mohr, 2000; Davis et al., 2004; Jones, 2004; Solórzano, Ceja, & Yosso, 2000; Swim, Hyers, Cohen, Fitzgerald, & Bylsma, 2003). Social support also appears to be an important factor in the successful adjustment of African American students at PWIs (Bean, Bush, et al., 2003; Cohen & Wills, 1985; Guiffrida, 2003, 2004, 2005; Harris & Molock, 2000; Hinderlie & Kenny, 2002; Kimbrough et al., 1996; Lin, Dean, & Ensel, 1986; Mallinckrodt, 1988; Utsey et al., 2000). Utilizing a longitudinal design, the present study investigated how race-related factors such as racial identity, racial socialization, and racial climate influenced the college adjustment experience of African American students as well as how these factors influenced the size and racial composition of the social support networks. It was hypothesized that social support may play a mediating role in the relationship between these racial factors and college adjustment and that these relationships would vary by class status (freshman vs junior transfer students). Results were mixed and indicated that current racial climate and private regard were concurrently, but not prospectively, associated with overall college and institutional adjustment. This effect was moderated by class status. However, the size and racial composition of social support providers was not predicted by any racial factors nor did it predict college adjustment. Limitations and broad implications of findings are discussed.

Download or read book The Influence of Social Status and Racial Discrimination on Students of Color s Self regulated Learning and Persistence Intentions written by Pa Her and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Each year thousands of students of color enter colleges and universities with the goal of completing a four-year degree. Many are faced with challenges and barriers that prevent them from being able to accomplish their goal of finishing school (Allen, 1999; Fischer, 2007). Some of these challenges are background variables like race/ethnicity or social status (Lent et al., 1994; Fouad & Brown, 2000). Other challenges are problems that students encounter on college campuses like racial discrimination (Fischer, 2007). Together, these challenges may impact student confidence in their ability to regulate their learning during college and thus impact their ability to complete school. This study takes a Social Cognitive Career Theory approach using its newest model, the Career Self-Management model, to understand the process by which background variables impact students of color's self-efficacy in their self-regulated learning and thus overall impact in their persistence intentions. As hypothesized, findings revealed that students' perceived social status related positively to self-efficacy for self-regulated learning, that increased experiences of racism related negatively to self-efficacy for self-regulated learning, and that self-efficacy for self-regulated learning related positively to student of colors' intentions to persist in college. Further, as hypothesized, self-efficacy for self-regulated learning mediated the relationship between perceived social status and persistence intentions. Lastly, SEM analyses provided support for the use of the SCCT-CSM model with students of color. Limitations of the current study are discussed. Implications and future directions for practice and research are presented.
Download or read book College Adjustment of African American Students on a Pre dominantly White College Campus written by Tamara Lynette Brown and published by . This book was released on 1996 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study explored the relationship between social support and two indices of college adjustment (grade point average and satisfaction with college) among 268 African American college students attending a predominantly White, midwestern university. Two sources of support (home-based and university-based) and two types of support (emotional and instrumental) were measured. Social support was not associated with students' GPAs, and only university-based social support was associated with their satisfaction with college. Among women, satisfaction with college was predicted best by university-based emotional support, whereas among men, satisfaction with college was predicted best by university-based instrumental support. Year in college and high school background were not related to the relationship between social support and college adjustment.
Download or read book Thriving in Transitions written by Denise D. Nelson and published by The National Resource Center for The First-Year Experience. This book was released on 2012-05-17 with total page 205 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thriving in Transitions: A Research-Based Approach to College Student Success represents a paradigm shift in the student success literature. Grounded in positive psychology, the thriving concept reframes the student success conversation by focusing on the characteristics amenable to change and that promote high levels of academic, interpersonal, and intrapersonal performance in the college environment. The authors contend that a focus on remediating student characteristics or merely encouraging specific behaviors is inadequate to promote success in college and beyond. The collection presents six research studies describing the characteristics that predict thriving in different groups of college students, including first-year students, transfer students, high-risk students, students of color, sophomores, and seniors, and offers recommendations for helping students thrive in college and life.
Download or read book Race Health and Social Support on Campus written by Alexandra Mae Munson and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 63 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: African American college students face a myriad of unique race related stressors on campus, yet there is a gap of knowledge on how these experiences may impact overall health as well as what may mediate these effects. The goal of the current study was threefold. First, it was to better understand the relationship between health outcomes and the experience of discrimination on college campuses for African American students. Second, it further investigated the research of Pieterse & Carter (2007), to explore if perceived discrimination influences health outcomes above and beyond general life stress in the emerging adult population. Lastly, it explored potential protective factors by examining if the relationship between health outcomes and the experience of discrimination is mediated by socio-cultural group involvement in the form of fraternities and sororities. 133 African American college students from a south eastern predominantly White university completed the American College Health Association's National College Health Assessment to explore these research aims. Racial discrimination was positively correlated with negative health outcomes, however experience of discrimination did not influence health outcomes above and beyond general life stress. Additionally, belonging to a fraternity or sorority did not mediate the relationship between the experience of discrimination and negative health outcomes. The results suggest that the discrimination African American college students face on predominantly white campuses are harmful to overall health, yet more needs to be explored to find adequate interventions to these negative health outcomes.
