摘要

最近的报告显示,在接受高等教育的学生中,低收入学生占了相当大的比例,他们的幸福感是影响他们大学成功的关键因素。这项混合方法研究以公平为导向的视角,考察了一年级低收入学生的时间利用及其与幸福感的关系,认识到低收入学生在时间上的限制。我们的混合方法研究结果确定了时间利用与幸福感之间的联系,以及对这些联系的经验性解释。首先,利用独特的经验抽样调查设计和多层次分析,我们发现,上课、学习或做作业以及有偿工作与低收入学生的幸福感始终存在不利关系。同时也是第一代大学生的低收入学生在参与这些活动时的情况比连续一代的学生更糟。另一方面,社交与低收入学生的幸福感呈正相关。其次,通过对数百个学生访谈的纵向数据进行探索,发现了影响低收入学生时间利用和幸福感之间关系的两个主要因素:(a)安排时间和形成常规,以及(b)反思和创造意义的力量。这些发现为低收入学生的大学经历及其时间利用与幸福感之间的关系提供了重要的新见解,并为教育工作者如何支持低收入学生在大学生活中的幸福感提供了重要指导。

The Relationship Between Low-Income College Students’ Time Use and Well-Being: A Mixed Methods Exploration

Recent reports show that low-income students make up a significant share of those participating in higher education, and their well-being constitutes a key factor that influences their college success. This mixed-methods study examined first-year, low-income students’ time use and its relationship to well-being framed by an equity-oriented lens that recognizes the time constraints low-income students navigate. Our mixed methods findings identified the link between time use and well-being and—critically—empirical explanations for these links. First, leveraging a unique experience sampling survey design and multilevel analyses, we found that attending class, studying or doing homework, and working for pay were consistently and adversely related to low-income students’ well-being. Low-income students who were also first-generation in college fared worse than continuing-generation students when engaging in these experiences. On the other hand, socializing was positively related to low-income students’ well-being. Second, an exploration of longitudinal data from hundreds of student interviews illuminated two primary factors that shaped the relationship between low-income students’ time use and well-being: (a) structuring time and developing a routine, and (b) the power of reflection and meaning-making. These findings provide important novel insights about low-income students’ college experiences and the relationship between their time use and well-being, and offer crucial guidance for educators on how to support low-income students’ well-being as they navigate college.

期刊介绍: Research in Higher Education publishes studies that examine issues pertaining to postsecondary education. The journal is open to studies using a wide range of methods, but has particular interest in studies that apply advanced quantitative research methods to issues in postsecondary education or address postsecondary education policy issues. Among the topics of interest to the journal are: access and retention; student success; equity; faculty issues; institutional productivity and assessment; postsecondary education governance; curriculum and instruction; state and federal higher education policy; and financing of postsecondary education. The journal encourages submissions from scholars in disciplines outside of higher education, and studies from outside the United States that address issues that are of interest to the readership. The journal will on occasion publish short notes of a methodological nature, literature reviews of topics pertaining to postsecondary research, and “research and practice” studies illustrating how postsecondary research can inform decision making.
