Racial Battle Fatigue for Latina/o Students: A Quantitative Perspective
Franklin, Jeremy D.; Smith, William A.; Hung, Man
Journal of Hispanic Higher Education, v13 n4 p303-322 Oct 2014
Previous literature demonstrates that as a result of racial microaggressions and hostile campus racial climates, Latina/o students often state they experience psychological, physiological, and behavioral stress responses during and after racialized incidents on campuses. The purpose of this study is to quantitatively test the racial battle fatigue framework for Latina/o students using structural equation modeling. Findings suggest that psychological stress responses for Latinas/os are most impacted by racial microaggressions in the racial battle fatigue framework.
