Student involvement and racial identity attitudes among African American males. (original) (raw)

This study examines the relationship between racial identity attitudes and student involvement among African American males at predominantly White institutions. It highlights the historical exclusion of Black students from mainstream campus life and identifies key themes affecting their dissatisfaction with college experiences. The research hypothesizes that higher levels of Preencounter attitudes correlate with lower involvement in campus activities, while higher Internalization attitudes lead to greater involvement, particularly among those associated with Greek-letter organizations.
