Fittin' in: Do Diverse Interactions with Peers Affect Sense of Belonging for Black Men at Predominantly White Institutions?
Strayhorn, Terrell L.
NASPA Journal, v45 n4 p501-527 2008
Prior research on interacting with diverse peers focuses on pooled samples including all racial/ethnic groups or specific subpopulations such as women and White men. Research on sense of belonging has tended to include part-time learners, Asians, and Latinos, but no studies were readily uncovered that focus on Black men. Addressing this gap in the literature, College Student Experiences Questionnaire data were analyzed for 231 Black and 300 White men (N = 531). Results suggest that cross-racial interactions were significant predictors for both groups; however, interactions with peers who have different interests was significant for Black men only. Implications for future practice and research are discussed. (Contains 3 tables and 2 footnotes.)
