Challenge: A Journal of Research on African American Men, v7 n3 p17-29 Dec 1996

The role of psychosocial variables (emotional intelligence quotient, bicultural behaviors, locus of control, and social support) in facilitating academic resilience was studied with 104 African American male college students from urban areas, 50 of whom were classified "resilient." Only emotional intelligence quotient was a significant contributor to academic resilience. (SLD)
