Shin, Richard Q.
Journal of Multicultural Counseling and Development, v39 n4 p218-228 Oct 2011
This exploratory study examined the relationships between Africentric values, racial/ethnic identity, neighborhood satisfaction, and academic self-efficacy beliefs among 88 African American elementary school children. Results indicated that Africentric values and neighborhood satisfaction were both predictive of academic self-efficacy beliefs. Racial/ethnic identity did not significantly predict the outcome variable. (Contains 2 tables.)
