Abstract

Objective: This study explored profiles of online risk-taking, exposure to online racial discrimination, and their associations with college adjustment and health risks among Black and Latine students.

Participants and methods: A geographically diverse sample of 571 Black (54.1%) and Latine (45.9%) students (39.9% cisgender women; M = 20.38 SD = 1.57) self-reported on positive online risk-taking (anti-racism risk-taking and coping with racism), negative online risk-taking (antisocial behaviors and problematic internet use), online racial discrimination, three domains of college adjustment (educational, relational, and psychological), and health risks.

Results: Four profiles emerged. High and Moderate Risk groups experienced greater discrimination, higher binge drinking, and lower psychological adjustment. The Anti-racism Positive Risk group reported better college adjustment and lower alcohol use, while the Low Risk group showed moderate educational adjustment and low substance use.

Conclusions: College administrators should address the heterogeneity in online risk-taking and implement culturally sensitive interventions to support students' well-being.
