Abstract

This study explores how high-achieving African American and Latinx female college students in an historically white institution (HWI) experience and respond to ethno-gendered bias based on the perspectives of resilience and intersectionality. Six 90-minutes focus group were conducted with 21 college women of color (CWOC), including 10 African American and 11 Latina emerging adults aged 18 to 23. A modified grounded theory approach was employed for the data analysis. The transitions of CWOC as emerging adults taking on greater responsibilities and independence were made more complex by ethno-gendered encounters. A grounded model of resistance expanded the ecological framework of resilience to accommodate intersectional experiences with race and gender bias. The model highlights CWOC resistance as an important psychosocial mechanism facilitating their adjustment in a predominantly White institution. CWOC employed a strong psychological mechanism of resistance to prevent the internalization of the negative stereotypical narratives. Maternal ethno-gendered racial socialization appeared to be a crucial resilience resource helping them to cope and promoting the growth of self-system characterized by independence, self-efficacy and self-respect, high self-esteem, determination and hard work. This transformative and constructive psychological mechanism of resistance was linked to their successful adjustment and achievement in college. The findings have developmental and practical implications for historically minoritized women college students’ resilience and adjustment.
种族歧视背景下非裔美国人和拉丁美洲女大学生的抵抗力和复原力
这项研究探讨了历史上白人学校(HWI)中成绩优异的非裔和拉丁裔女大学生如何基于韧性和交叉性的角度体验和应对种族性别偏见。对21名有色人种大学女性(CWOC)进行了6个90分钟的焦点小组,其中包括10名18至23岁的非裔美国人和11名拉丁裔新兴成年人。数据分析采用了修正的扎根理论方法。作为承担更大责任和独立性的新兴成年人,CWOC的转变因种族性别遭遇而变得更加复杂。一种有根据的抵抗模式扩大了复原力的生态框架,以适应种族和性别偏见的跨部门经历。该模型强调,CWOC抵抗是一种重要的心理社会机制,有助于他们在以白人为主的机构中进行调整。CWOC采用了一种强大的心理抵抗机制来防止负面刻板叙事的内化。母亲的民族性别种族社会化似乎是一种重要的恢复力资源,有助于她们应对并促进以独立、自我效能和自尊、高度自尊、决心和努力工作为特征的自我系统的发展。这种变革性和建设性的抵抗心理机制与他们在大学中的成功适应和成就有关。研究结果对历史上少数民族女大学生的适应能力和适应能力具有发展和实践意义。
