Oxendine, Symphony D.; Taub, Deborah J.; Cain, Elise J.
Journal of College Student Development, v61 n3 p267-280 May-Jun 2020
Responses from 604 Native American undergraduates to the 2015 administration of the Multi-Institutional Study of Leadership (MSL) survey were examined to determine the effects of involvement in culturally based organizations, collective racial esteem, and being mentored by someone on campus on perceptions of a belonging campus climate and a nondiscriminatory campus climate. Public collective racial esteem and being mentored by someone on campus made significant contributions to respondents' perceptions of a belonging campus climate. Public collective racial esteem, private collective racial esteem, identity salience, and involvement in a culturally based organization contributed to respondents' perceptions of a nondiscriminatory campus climate. The contributions of identity salience and involvement were negative.
