Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationships between general, academic, and racial campus climates and academic resilience among Black college students. This study also investigated the moderating role of civic engagement on the relationships between campus climates and academic resilience. Participants were 388 Black undergraduate students (76.8% women; 58.8% social, behavioral, and economic sciences majors; 87.4% enrolled full-time) attending a predominantly White university who completed an online survey. Results from moderated regression analyses indicated more positive perceptions of general and academic campus climates significantly predicted higher levels of academic resilience, but more positive perceptions of racial campus climate significantly predicted lower levels of academic resilience. Civic engagement moderated the relationship between general campus climate and academic resilience only. These findings can be used to inform coordinated efforts by university constituents to advance academic resilience among Black college students by improving general and academic campus climates, promoting more positive perceptions of general and academic campus climates, and promoting student civic engagement.

黑人学生对校园气候的感知及其对学业弹性的影响

本研究的目的是探讨黑人大学生的一般、学术和种族校园气候与学业弹性之间的关系。本研究还探讨了公民参与对校园气候和学业弹性之间关系的调节作用。参与者为388名黑人本科生(76.8%为女性;58.8%的社会、行为和经济科学专业;87.4%的全日制学生在一所以白人为主的大学就读，他们完成了一项在线调查。适度回归分析结果表明，对一般校园气候和学术校园气候的积极感知显著预测较高的学术弹性水平，而对种族校园气候的积极感知显著预测较低的学术弹性水平。公民参与仅调节了一般校园气氛和学术弹性之间的关系。这些发现可以用来为大学组成部分的协调努力提供信息，通过改善一般和学术校园气候，促进对一般和学术校园气候的更积极的看法，以及促进学生的公民参与，来提高黑人大学生的学术弹性。
