Loes, Chad N.; Salisbury, Mark H.; Pascarella, Ernest T.
Journal of Higher Education, v84 n6 p834-865 Nov-Dec 2013
This article reports on a study that explored whether diversity experiences influence students' attitudes toward literary activities during the first year of college. Interactional diversity and attending a diversity workshop had a positive net influence on the outcome measure. Exposure to curricular diversity, however, had only a chance effect on the dependent variable.
