The Role of Ethnic Identification and Perceived Social Support in Latinos' Adjustment to College.

Schneider, Monica E.; Ward, Dahlia J.

Hispanic Journal of Behavioral Sciences, v25 n4 p539-54 Nov 2003

A study of 35 Latino college students in upstate New York found that various types of perceived support (from family, general peers, Latino peers, faculty, and institution) mediated the relationship between ethnic identification and adjustment to college. Important differences emerged between Latino peer support and general peer support for Latinos' college adjustment. (SV)
