Book excerpt: Brief Literature Review: Latinos make up the largest growing population in the United States, but simultaneously represent the population with the lowest degree attainment (Krogstad, 2014). As Latino youth enter colleges and universities, it has become the responsibility and goal of administrators to understand the struggles and promote the educational success of this population. A known factor influencing educational success and degree attainment is academic self-efficacy (Brady-Amoon & Fuertes, 2011). Thus, understanding how academic self-efficacy is developed and influenced holds a key to understanding the educational experience of Latino students. Statement of Problem: Self-efficacy can be developed and influenced through multiple means, including mastery experience, vicarious experience, verbal persuasion, and physiological signals. Racial discrimination represents a form of verbal persuasion that holds the potential to negatively influence a student's academic self-efficacy. The purpose of this study was to determine what types of racial discrimination Latino students experience on the college campus and how these discriminatory interactions influence the student's feelings of academic self-efficacy, recognizing gender differences. Methodology: The study used a quantitative method to conduct research on currently enrolled undergraduate Latino and Latina students at a Northern California public university. The study utilized an online survey. A total of 404 students participated in the research. Conclusions and Recommendations: The results of this study revealed three findings. First, Latino students are experiencing racial discrimination on the university campus, most often in the forms of microaggressions. Second, experience with perceived racial discrimination does not appear have a direct relationship with academic self-efficacy for male or female students, but a strong inverse relationship was found between the two variables for students identifying as other than male or female. Future research is needed to further understand the disparity in experiences between students with different gender identifications and to ensure that all students have access to an educational environment that bolsters self-efficacy.

Download or read book Understanding the Latinx Experience written by Vasti Torres and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-07-03 with total page 157 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Latino presence continues to grow in traditional population enclaves and has tripled in areas that are not traditionally associated with this pan-ethnic group. The dramatic growth of this population in the U.S. requires a considerably deeper understanding of individuals that share this multifaceted identity. This timely book synthesizes new research and its implications for practice that is critical for professionals working with Latinos in educational and counseling contexts. The authors provide insight into identity development, environmental influences, and how these factors influence persistence in higher education. By using a synthesis approach to organize multiple studies around how being Latinx influences the experiences of students in college and beyond, the authors offer a holistic view of the Latino population. Each chapter uses mixed method data points to highlight the experiences of this growing population and provide helpful insights for those who work with Latinx individuals within higher education and community settings. The new Lifespan Model of Latinx Ethnic Identity Development constitutes a framework to consider the development and tensions experienced by Latinos as they engage with the various cultures represented within U.S. society. The studies presented in this book provide an evidence-based understanding how environmental differences may produce differing levels of development for college students and how change in environments produce reflective refinement of adult Latinx identity. Practitioners will learn about practices that help Latinx college students. Faculty and researchers will gain new understandings of the Latinx experience, and discover a starting point for further reflection and investigation.

This book was released on 2015 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The racial and cultural demographics in America are constantly changing to include a growing minority sector. Minority Serving Institutions, specifically Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), serve a unique purpose in educating a targeted demographic, but these institutions are pressed with the need to diversify because of financial and legal demands. With the largest minority population in the United States being Hispanic, understanding how HBCUs can serve this specific sector is necessary to the success of all stakeholders. The purpose of this study was to understand the experiences of the Hispanic minority population at four-year, public Historically Black Colleges and Universities, specifically related to the Hispanic students' experiences with perceived discrimination. This study utilized a sequential explanatory mixed methods approach. The first quantitative phase consisted of Phinney's (1992) Multigroup Ethnic Identity Measure survey; the second qualitative phase included semi-structured phone interviews with 15 randomly selected participants from three HBCUs. Following the data collection, nine specific themes were identified within three specific categories: personal (cultural dexterous and consciousness of ethnicity and cultural differences), social (segregation of peer groups, independent creation of social groups focused on Hispanic culture, assumed ethnicity/questioning of ethnic background, and monocultural [African-American] friend groups), and institutional (lack of representation of Hispanic culture on campus, classroom isolation, and mixed perspectives regarding diversity being included/promoted on campus). An overarching theme of stereotyping was also noted. The MEIM (Phinney, 1992) results suggested that Hispanic students attending HBCUs have high ethnic identity development and high other group orientations, although the relationship of these two factors to the levels of perceived discrimination was undeterminable. The results of the study suggest that HBCUs need to make adjustments on their campuses to better accommodate and serve the growing minority population that they are enrolling. By creating a campus that is culturally sensitive and welcoming to other minority groups, HBCUs will be able to offer to other populations what they already offer for their African-American students- a place where they feel represented, where they feel welcomed, and where they can share their unique cultural customs that contribute to the American melting pot.

Book excerpt: "Experiencing Racism provides a thought-provoking and thorough analysis of how race is lived in America. Collecting essays on personal experiences of race and racism from a wide spectrum of college students, the authors employ existing social science literature and textual analysis to illustrate common themes and departures. The essays and associated analyses capture the impact of racism on its perpetrators and victims, highlighting how individuals choose to cope with racist experiences in their lives. Relevant empirical literature is interwoven throughout the chapters to demonstrate the intersection between existing empirical research and real-life experiences. This book is a depiction of race in America that goes beyond black and white to show how the changing racial contours of America are impacting the ways we view and experience racism."--Page 4 of cover.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: College campuses provide ideal natural settings for studying diversity: they allow us to see what happens when students of all different backgrounds sit side by side in classrooms, live together in residence halls, and interact in one social space. By opening a window onto the experiences and evolving identities of individuals in these exceptionally diverse environments, we can gain a better understanding of the possibilities and challenges we face as a multicultural nation. The Diversity Challenge—the largest and most comprehensive study to date on college campus diversity—synthesizes over five years' worth of research by an interdisciplinary team of experts to explore how a highly diverse environment and policies that promote cultural diversity affect social relations, identity formation, and a variety of racial and political attitudes. The result is a fascinating case study of the ways in which individuals grow and groups interact in a world where ethnic and racial difference is the norm. The authors of The Diversity Challenge followed 2,000 UCLA students for five years in order to see how diversity affects identities, attitudes, and group conflicts over time. They found that racial prejudice generally decreased with exposure to the ethnically diverse college environment. Students who were randomly assigned to roommates of a different ethnicity developed more favorable attitudes toward students of different backgrounds, and the same associations held for friendship and dating patterns. By contrast, students who interacted mainly with others of similar backgrounds were more likely to exhibit bias toward others and perceive discrimination against their group. Likewise, the authors found that involvement in ethnically segregated student organizations sharpened perceptions of discrimination and aggravated conflict between groups. The Diversity Challenge also reports compelling new evidence that a strong ethnic identity can coexist with a larger community identity: students from all ethnic groups were equally likely to identify themselves as a part of the broader UCLA community. Overall, the authors note that on many measures, the racial and political attitudes of the students were remarkably consistent throughout the five year study. But the transformations that did take place provide us with a wealth of information on how diversity affects individuals, groups, and the cohesion of a community. Theoretically informed and empirically grounded, The Diversity Challenge is an illuminating and provocative portrait of one of the most diverse college campuses in the nation. The story of multicultural UCLA has significant and far-reaching implications for our nation, as we face similar challenges—and opportunities—on a much larger scale.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While the black and white racial experience has been delineated over the years, the ethnic realities of Latinos have received minimal attention. Therefore, with Latinos projected as the upcoming U.S. population majority, the central goal of this book is to document the Latino experience in the world of academia, focusing primarily, but not exclusively, on first-generation Latino students in higher education, delineating the dynamics of the educational journey, while situating their experiences within the ethnic community, the overall American society, and the international community. The text focuses on (1) ethnic realities including Latino student access to higher education, retention, graduation rates, and career success; (2) analysis of historic trends; (3) extensive review of prior empirical studies; (4) a holistic portrayal of education in the U.S.; (5) a qualitative study conducted in an institution of higher education in Texas, placing the stories of participating Latino students in theoretical context; (6) vivid documentation of historically entrenched racial ideologies in American education; (7) exploration of potential solutions to historical and contemporary barriers confronting Latino students; (8) development of a model of empowerment for Latino students; (9) information for the establishment of a balanced educational system; (10) accountability of higher education institutions; (11) review of revolutionizing education in the midst of current globalization; and (12) venturing into the future of Latino education in the overall American experience. Finally, the book seeks to examine not only America’s racism that is evident, but also the structural, cultural, and ideological forces that have influenced and continue to perpetuate the current educational situation for Latinos.

Download or read book Effects of Ethnic Identity and National Identity on Perceived Discrimination Among Latino Adolescents written by Sara Mecca and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Little psychological research has explored Latino adolescents' identity and their experiences with ethnic discrimination. Latino college students' ethnic identity may be protective against the negative effects of discrimination. Recent studies have documented both positive and negative effects of having strong national identity among minority ethnic group members. The current study examined how Latino adolescents' ethnic and national identities are related to their perceptions of and affective responses to discrimination. We explored the relationships between ethnic and national identity, perceived discrimination, and the amount of stress and type of affective responses following experiences with discrimination in thirty-five Mexican-American students. Ethnic identity was positively correlated to perceptions of discrimination, as predicted. Additionally, ethnic and national identities were also positively related. This finding indicates that future research on this topic may need to consider ethnic and national identities in tandem. Importantly, bicultural youth scored higher on the measure of perceived discrimination than non-bicultural participants.

Book excerpt: The negative ramifications of racial microaggressions are a burgeoning area of empirical inquiry; however, there is a paucity of research that examines how Latinas/os experience and cope with racial microaggresions. Thus, this qualitative study explored the emotional consequences of exposure to racial microaggressions and coping skills utilized to combat these discriminatory experiences. Seventeen participants who were attending a Hispanic Serving Institution in the Southwest were interviewed using semi-structured interviews. A constructivism grounded theory approach informed the conceptualization, execution and analysis of this study. Emerging themes based on participant responses included: Societal and Cultural Factors that Influence Discrimination Against Latina/os, Perception of Campus Racial Climate, Experience of Racial Microaggressions, Appraisal of Microaggressions, Emotional Reactions to Racial Microaggressions, Coping with Racial Microaggressions, and Recommendations for Creating a Safer Racial Climate for Latina/os. A theory was proposed that explained how Latina/o students cope with racial discrimination/racial microaggressions at a Hispanic Serving Institution. The results are discussed using a Critical Race Theory lens. Implications and future directions are presented.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This edited collection brings together original research papers that explore an important aspect of race and ethnic studies, namely the processes that are shaping the making of Latina and Latino identities in contemporary America. This is a question that has received much attention in the USA over the past decade, and these papers make an original contribution to these debates. Much of this attention towards Latino/a communities in the USA can be seen as the outcome of public debates about the growth of these communities over the past three decades, and the consequences of this growth for social and political change. The papers in this collection highlight some of the key facets of contemporary research in this field. As original pieces of research they are at the forefront of current debates about Latino/a identities in contemporary America, and they provide research based insights into the changing experiences of these communities. This book was originally published as a special issue of Ethnic and Racial Studies.

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.

Download or read book The Role of Cognitive Appraisal in the Relationship Between Perceived Racial Discrimination and Psychological Distress Among Latinos written by Cheyenne M. Dunbar and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 54 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Past research has established a relationship between perceived racial discrimination (how frequently a discriminatory situation occurs) and psychological distress (e.g., depression and anxiety). The present study aims to contribute a more detailed view of this relationship by (a) examining cognitive appraisal as a moderator of this relationship and (b) measuring psychological distress at explicit and implicit levels of responding. Cognitive appraisal is the way in which an individual defines and evaluates his or her environment. There are several dimensions of cognitive appraisal that are relevant to the perceived discrimination -- psychological distress relationship, including stressfulness, harmfulness, controllability, and ability to cope. Situations perceived as high harm and stress, low control and ability to cope have been found to account for greater psychological distress. Herein, it is argued that frequently recurring discriminatory events that are perceived as relatively benign (i.e., low harm and stress, high control and ability to cope) can also be linked to psychological distress. Therefore, it was predicted that low harm and stress, high control and ability to cope situations would account for greater psychological distress, especially when these situations occur with greater frequency. In addition, it was argued that racial minority group members may not be fully aware of, or willing to self-report, the adverse effects of perceived discrimination. There may be two distinct levels of thoughts and feelings in relation to perceived discrimination: the consciously accessible and controllable (explicit) level and the inaccessible and automatic (implicit) level. Thus, studying psychological distress at the implicit level may provide additional insights into the detrimental impact of racial discrimination. Data were collected from a sample of 152 Latino college students. The frequency of personal experiences of racial discrimination was assessed using the Schedule of Racist Events. Cognitive appraisals were assessed using a series of items designed to measure stressfulness, harmfulness, controllability, and ability to cope. Two Implicit Association Tests were used to measure the extent to which the self was associated with the concepts "depressed" vs. "happy" and "anxious" vs. "calm." Participants also completed parallel explicit measures of depression and anxiety, and the Center for Epidemiologic Studies --Depression Scale. In line with previous research, increased frequency of perceived discrimination was related to greater explicit psychological distress (i.e., depression and anxiety). In addition, decreased controllability and ability to cope were related to increased explicit depression. None of the predicted interaction effects of frequency with the cognitive appraisal dimensions reached statistical significance. Furthermore, there were no significant main effects or interactions on the implicit measures of depression and anxiety. This study provides additional evidence for the link between frequency of perceived discrimination and mental health, and suggests that the role of cognitive appraisal in the perceived discrimination -- mental health relationship may be more tenuous that what is typically assumed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The current study analyzes the rates at which different racial groups experience identity discordance, or the phenomenon of one's self-ascribed racial identity not being commensurate with external perceptions of one's race. While previous research has documented the possibility of discrepancy between self-ascribed and external classifications of racial identities, few empirical studies have sought to determine which racial groups are most susceptible to experiencing identity discordance or investigated specific mechanisms that may contribute to that discordance. Utilizing the 2006 wave of the Portraits of American Life Study (PALS), the current study investigates the rate of identity discordance for Whites, Blacks, Hispanics, and Asians using perceived discrimination, geographic region, and race itself as focal predictors. Results indicate that those that identity as non-white and those that experience discrimination are more susceptible to experiencing identity discordance. Geographic region does not predict identity discordance overall, but is differentially important to rates of discordance for those that identify as Hispanic.
