Differences in Universal-Diverse Orientation by Race-Ethnicity and Gender
Singley, Daniel B.; Sedlacek, William E.
Journal of Counseling & Development, v87 n4 p404-411 Fall 2009
This article addresses the roles of race-ethnicity and gender in university student orientation toward diversity. Differences in orientation toward diversity were found between men and women as well as among racial-ethnic groups (Asian/Asian American, African American, Latino, Anglo-American). Anglo-American students' scores were significantly lower than those of people of color, but no differences were found among groups of color. Men's scores were significantly lower than women's scores. Discussion addresses implications for higher education diversity programming.
