Development of a Sense of Belonging for Privileged and Minoritized Students: An Emergent Model
Vaccaro, Annemarie; Newmand, Barbara M.
Journal of College Student Development, v57 n8 p925-942 Nov 2016
This article reports findings from a constructionist grounded theory study with 51 first-year college students. We explored student definitions and development of a sense of belonging during their first year of college. Belonging for all participants was shaped by 3 themes: environmental perceptions, involvement, and relationships. Yet, there were vast differences in the ways students from privileged and minoritized social identity groups defined belonging and made meaning of the 3 emergent themes. A model of belonging for privileged and minoritized college students is presented.
