Am I Welcome Here? Campus Climate and Psychological Well-Being among Students of Color
Koo, Katie K.
Journal of Student Affairs Research and Practice, v58 n2 p196-213 2021
By analyzing 11,232 college students using a large longitudinal national dataset, this study examined students of Color's perceived campus climate and its impact on their psychological well-being compared to that of their White peers. Students of Color and female students appeared to show lower levels of perceived psychological well-being and to experience more negative campus climates compared to White students and male counterparts in both their first year and senior year. A significant association between psychological well-being and perceived campus climate was found among students of Color. Implications for research and practice to support students of Color on campus are discussed.
