Journal of Hispanic Higher Education, v18 n4 p410-421 Oct 2019
This study investigated the relationship between psychocultural, sociocultural, college knowledge, and citizenship status factors on Latinx high school students' college enrollment. Participants included 307 Latinx ninth-grade students enrolled across four high schools in central Texas that were followed post-high school graduation. Results indicated that only receiving-culture acquisition and college knowledge were statistically significant predictors of college enrollment. Researchers provide implications for counselors and psychologists.
