Emotional School Engagement among Minority Youth: The Relevance of Cultural Identity, Perceived Discrimination, and Perceived Support
Göbel, Kerstin; Preusche, Zuzanna M.
Intercultural Education, v30 n5 p547-563 2019
Minority student school dropout represents a challenging issue for educational systems in many countries. Notwithstanding minority families' overall high academic aspirations, there is a stable achievement gap between majority and minority students. Minority students who are emotionally engaged with their school tend to be psychologically and socioculturally better adapted to their country of residence and, as a result, report higher academic success. Therefore, emotional school engagement represents a relevant factor for integration into the host society. The goal of this paper is to investigate the interrelation between ethnic and national identity, perceived discrimination, and perceived support from parents, peers, and teachers with emotional school engagement. Results indicate that cultural capital within the family, cultural self-identification, and perceived support from peers and teachers play an important role for students' emotional school engagement.
