Parental Bonding, Racial Identity, Stress, Resilience, and Underrepresented Students' Adjustment to College

ProQuest LLC, Psy.D. Dissertation, Roosevelt University
In this study, the relationships between parental bonding, racial and ethnic identity, stress, and resilience were examined with respect to college adjustment across four domains: academic, social, personal-emotional, and institutional attachment. Participants included a sample of 152 Black/African American, Hispanic/Latinx, and White undergraduate students recruited from an internet-based crowd-sourcing platform. Multiple regression analyses examined whether parental bonding, racial identity, stress, and resilience contributed to explaining variance across the four domains. Results indicated that parental bonding contributed to the explanation of variance for Hispanic/Latinx students' academic adjustment and for Black/African American students' personal-emotional adjustment. Resilience contributed to the explanation of variance for Hispanic/Latinx and Black/African American students' academic and personal-emotional adjustment. Stress contributed to the explanation of variance across various domains for each racial/ethnic group: academic adjustment for Black/African American and White students, personal-emotional adjustment for all three racial/ethnic groups, and goal-commitment institutional attachment for Black/African American and White students. Importantly, there were moderate to strong statistical correlations between resilience and all four domains of college adjustment for Black/African American and Hispanic/Latinx students. These results highlight the adaptive role that resilience has during transition to college, as well as the maladaptive impact of stress. Findings can be utilized to inform initiatives promoting successful transition to college and increased enrollment and retention rates of underrepresented students.
