Role of Peer Support on Intragroup Marginalization for Latino Undergraduates
Llamas, Jasmin; Ramos-Sanchez, Lucila
Journal of Multicultural Counseling and Development, v41 n3 p158-168 Jul 2013
The authors examined 83 Latino undergraduates to determine whether perceived social support of friends mediates the role of intragroup marginalization on acculturative stress and college adjustment. A mediation effect was found for college adjustment but not for acculturative stress. Results highlight the importance of friends for college adjustment. (Contains 2 tables.)
