This book was released on 2013 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This research explores the gap between Black and White and Hispanic and White student degree attainment in predominately white institutions (PWI). The cost associated with each individual who fails to matriculate and attain their degree is significant for the individual, the institution and for society as a whole. The purpose of this study was to explore the risk and protective factors associated with the Black and Hispanic undergraduate experience, as well as the multiple ways in which students' perceptions of their sense of racial/ethnic identity contribute to the specific protective mechanisms that buffer the effects of exposure to risk and foster students' academic resiliency. For this study, phenomenology research methodology allowed Black and Hispanic students to describe their perceptions of the undergraduate college experience at a PWI. Data collection methods included in-depth, one-on-one, semi-structured, interviews with eleven undergraduate college students. Findings indicate that Black and Latina students experience a variety of risk and protective factors that can positively or negatively impact their identity, academic resilience and success as a student. Data results highlight the importance of a po sitive Racial/Ethnic Identity as an important protective factor for academic success. Analysis revealed that Isolation and a Lack of Sense of Belonging and Isolation, Racism and Microaggressions, and Financial Difficulties were among the most significant challenges faced by the students. The protective mechanisms of family, group and peer support, internal purpose and goals, and identity duality proved to be the most salient protective factors that contribute to student perseverance. This research revealed important insights associated with increasing positive college experiences for Black and Hispanic undergraduate students. Implications and recommendations for improving institutional commitments to these student populations will be highlighted and discussed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Promoting Academic Resilience in Multicultural America combines biographical sketches of resilient students, examples of effective programs designed to encourage resilience, recent research in the field, and their own experiences of resilient academics of color. The book illustrates exactly how academic success occurs within traditionally challenged learning environments. The authors focus most closely on the crucial transition between high school and college. The individuals spotlighted and programs outlined cross racial, gender, socioeconomic, and ethnic lines, and include African American, Hispanic, and white students. In part, the authors conclude that there are specific multidimensional protective factors that work collaboratively to enable the success of these exceptional students. It is the detailed exploration of these phenomena that lie at the heart of this work and that has the potential to help all children excel. Among other uses, this book could be a valuable addition to a college freshmen seminar series, a foundations of education course, a course on multiculturalism in America and/or any course focused on basic educational psychology.

Download or read book Ethnic Identity and Coping Efficacy as Moderators of the Relationships Between Perceived Racial Discrimination and Academic Outcomes Among Urban Low income Latina o Youth written by Alison L. Mroczkowski and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 98 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The present study used resilience theory to explore relationships among perceived racial discrimination, ethnic identity, coping efficacy, gender, and various academic outcomes among urban, low-income, Latina/a youth. Although Latina/as are the largest ethnic minority group in the United States, they attain less education than other racial/ethnic groups (Chapman, Laird, Ifill, & Kewei Ramani, 2011). Racial discrimination is one factor that may account for the lower levels of education attained by this group, and research has indicated that racial discrimination is associated with poor educational outcomes among Latina/a adolescents (Alfaro, Umana-Taylor, Gonzales-Backen, Bamaca, & Zeiders, 2009; DeGarmo & Martinez, 2006). Despite exposure to risk factors such as racial discrimination, resilience theory suggests that some adolescents with assets, such as ethnic identity or coping efficacy, can still thrive, or achieve success (Fergus & Zimmerman, 2005). Ethnic identity and coping efficacy are two protective factors that were hypothesized to buffer Latina/a students' academic outcomes from the negative effects of racial discrimination. Some research suggests that these relationships are significant among male participants, but not among female participants (Umana-Taylor, Wong, Gonzales, & Dumka, 2012). The participants in this study were 446 urban, low-income Latina/a high school students from a large, Midwestern city who completed surveys in both 9th-grade and 10th-grade. Structural equation modeling was used to test the relationships among racial discrimination, ethnic identity, coping efficacy, and academic outcomes. Results supported a protective model of resilience. Specifically, ethnic identity and coping efficacy served as protective factors by buffering the negative effects of perceived racial discrimination on some academic outcomes, including GPA, attendance, and extrinsic motivation. This study filled gaps in the literature by examining the relationships among perceived racial discrimination, ethnic identity, coping efficacy and academic outcomes among urban, low-income Latina/a adolescents over time.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ABSTRACT: Literature highlights the significance of culture in one's behavioral and emotional functioning. However, few studies have explored the role of culture in stress resilience among African American youth. Our purpose was to assess whether the relationship between stressful events and externalizing/internalizing behavior in African American adolescents is moderated by culture-specific variables. The investigated culture-specific variables include ethnic identity (sense of belonging to one's ethnic group), Africentric values (adherence to an African worldview), and Africultural coping style (cognitive/emotional debriefing [efforts to manage perceived environmental stressors], collective coping [dependence on group activities to cope with stressors], spiritual-centered coping [behavior that reflect harmony with spiritual aspects of the universe], and ritual-centered coping [use of rituals to handle stress]). The extent to which these variables serve as protective factors is explored from a culturally-relevant theory of stress. This culturally-relevant theory gives explicit attention to the role of culture in each element of the stress experience as it emphasizes the social embeddedness of each individual.
Download or read book Youth Resilience and Culture written by Linda C. Theron and published by Springer. This book was released on 2014-11-21 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Until researchers and theorists account for the complex relationship between resilience and culture, explanations of why some individuals prevail in the face of adversity will remain incomplete. This edited volume addresses this crucial issue by bringing together emerging discussions of the ways in which culture shapes resilience, the theory that informs these various studies, and important considerations for researchers as they continue to investigate resilience. Using research from majority and minority world contexts, ‘Youth Resilience and Culture: Commonalities and Complexities’ highlights that non-stereotypical, critical appreciation of the cultural systems in which youth are embedded, and/or affiliate with, is pivotal to understanding why particular resilience processes matter for particular youth in a particular life-world at a particular point in time. In doing so, this book sensitizes readers to the importance of accounting for the influence of cultural contexts on resilience processes, and to the danger of conceptualising and/or operationalising resilience, culture, and their interplay, simplistically or idealistically. In short, the progressive contents of ‘Youth Resilience and Culture: Commonalities and Complexities’ make it an essential read for resilience-focused scholars, students, academics, and researchers, as well as policy makers, practitioners, and humanitarian workers engaged with high-risk populations.

Download or read book The Politics of Survival in Academia written by Lila Jacobs and published by Rowman & Littlefield Publishers. This book was released on 2002-11-19 with total page 195 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume presents the personal accounts of African American, Asian American, and Latino faculty who use 'narratives of struggles' to describe the challenges they faced in order to become bona fide members of the U.S. Academy. These narratives show how survival and success require a sophisticated knowledge of the politics of academia, insider knowledge of the requirements of legitimacy in scholarly efforts, and resourceful approach to facing dilemmas between cultural values, traditional racist practices, and academic resilience. The book also explores the empowerment process of these individuals who have created a new self without rejecting their 'enduring' self, the self strongly connected to their ethno/racial cultures and groups. Within the process of self -redefinition, this new faculty confronted racism, sexism, rejection, the clash of cultural values, and structural indifference to cultural diversity. The faculty recounts how they ultimately learned the skillful accommodation to all of these issues. It is through the analysis of survival and self-definition that women and faculty of color will establish a powerful foothold in the new academy of the twenty-first century.

Download or read book Racial Identity Dimensions And Parental Academic Socialization As Promotive And Protective Factors For The Academic Success Of Black Students written by Stephanie Joseph and published by . This book was released on 2023 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The current study investigated the role of racial identity dimensions (racial centrality and private regard), academic identity, and parent socialization (specifically, academic and ethnic/racial socialization: cultural socialization and preparation for bias) in promoting success among a diverse sample of Black students. The study aimed to examine how parent socialization and academic identity mediated the relationship between racial identity dimensions and academic achievement. Data was collected nationwide from 685 Black students through an online survey conducted in Spring 2022. Path models were employed to explore the relationship between racial identity dimensions and academic achievement. To account for contextual factors, the analyses incorporated academic identity and parent socialization (academic and ethnic/racial socialization, including cultural socialization and preparation for bias) as mediators, while gender was considered as a moderator. However, the mediation analyses did not yield statistically significant results, highlighting the need for further research to investigate the nuanced relationship between these factors. In addition to the path models, supplementary analyses were conducted, including bivariate correlations and exploratory factor analyses of the scales used: Identification with Academics (IAS, Osborne, 1997), Identification with School Questionnaire (ISQ, Voelkl, 1996), Education Socialization Scale (ESS, Bempechat et al., 1999), and Parent Ethnic/Racial Socialization (PERS, Hughes & Chen, 1999). The results of the exploratory factor analyses and subsequent evaluation of psychometric properties revealed inconsistencies between the factor structures suggested by previous studies and the current study for the Identification with Academic, Identification with School Questionnaire, and Education Socialization Scale. This suggests the need for further refinement and validation of these measurement instruments. However, the exploratory factor analysis of the Parent Ethnic/Racial Socialization scale aligned with existing literature, indicating its appropriateness for use with Black students. Bivariate correlation analyses demonstrated small-to-moderate relationships that were consistently observed across most variables. Academic identity demonstrated a strong and significant correlation with private regard and a moderate and significant correlation with racial centrality. GPA demonstrated a moderate and significant correlation with academic identity and private regard and a small but significant correlation with racial centrality and parent academic socialization. Students who endorse a stronger academic identity and racial identity (private regard and racial centrality) are more likely to have better academic outcomes, including higher GPA. Furthermore, the findings related to parent academic socialization suggest that parental support and engagement may continue to have some influence on the academic performance of Black students, even in adulthood. The implications of the findings were such that fostering a strong academic identity and a positive racial identity contributed to better academic outcomes for Black students. Further, the findings highlight the sustained influence of parental support and engagement on the academic performance of Black students, even as they transition into adulthood. This underscores the significance of ongoing parental involvement throughout a student's educational journey.
Download or read book Power Discrimination and Privilege in Individuals and Institutions written by Sonya Faber and published by Frontiers Media SA. This book was released on 2024-04-01 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Individuals and systems are rife with prejudices, leading to discrimination and inequities. Examples of this include rejection of stigmatized groups (e.g., Black Americans, Indigenous people in Canada, Roma peoples in Europe), structural racism (e.g., inequitable distribution of resources for public schools), disenfranchisement of women employees (e.g., the “glass ceiling”), barriers to higher education (e.g., biased admissions requirements), heterosexism, economic oppression, and colonization. When we take a closer look, we find the core of the problem is imbalance in the distribution of power and its misuse.
Download or read book Ethnic Identify Familial Ethnic Socialization Religiosity and Psychological Adjustment in Middle Eastern Emerging Adults written by Iren Assar and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The aim of the current study was to determine if protective and risk factors are associated with good or poor well-being within the Middle-Eastern emerging adults. The relationships among ethnic identity, religiosity, family ethnic socialization (protective factors), acculturative stress and discrimination (risk factors), level of acculturation and self-esteem were examined using a sample of 152 Middle Eastern emerging adults. Results indicated that Middle Eastern emerging adults who reported higher commitment of ethnic identity experienced less depression. High levels of familial ethnic socialization were also associated with less depression. Participants who reported high levels of acculturative stress and discrimination also experienced lowers levels of self-esteem. High levels of acculturative stress and discrimination were also associated with higher levels of depression. A regression was used to examine if strong ethnic identity, familial ethnic socialization, and religiosity positively predicted self-esteem. This hypothesis was not supported. These results are discussed in terms of a protective/risk factor framework as well as the developmental state of identity development. Bilingualism, generation status, and the differences between collectivist and individual cultural values are also discussed.

This book was released on 2016 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The implications of the study are limited by its generalizability and cross-sectional design, which do not allow for causal conclusions regarding the relationship between exposure to racial stressors and antisocial behavior. Future studies should attempt to confirm whether the experience of racism has a direct impact on antisocial behavior, and further consider whether other protective factors moderate the effects of racism.
