Vela, Javier Cavazos; Guerra, Federico; Garcia, Christian; Hinojosa, Yvette
Journal of School Counseling, v16 n12 2018
A quantitative, predictive design was used to explore how positive psychology, mental health, and cultural factors influenced Latina/o adolescents' college-going beliefs. By using multiple regression analysis, findings indicated that hope and life satisfaction were significant predictors of college-going beliefs. We provide a discussion regarding the importance of these findings as well as recommendations for school counselors.
