Predicting the Adjustment of Black Students at Predominantly White Institutions.
Thompson, Chalmer E.; Fretz, Bruce R.
Journal of Higher Education, v62 n4 p437-50 Jul-Aug 1991
A set of variables termed "bicultural adaptive strategies" was formulated and tested for predicting Black students' (n=171) levels of adjustment to a predominantly White university. Findings suggest that the incorporation of variables reflecting Black cultural frame of reference is fruitful in studying Black student adjustment and retention. (Author/MSE)
