摘要

As more multiracial students enter college, it is important to examine the sense of belonging these students experience at Predominantly White Institutions (PWIs), as sense of belonging is associated with academic engagement, success, and persistence. The current study sought to assess sense of belonging and everyday discrimination in multiracial students at a PWI and to examine whether risk and resilience factors associated with multiracial identity are associated with two dimensions of sense of belonging. Further, potential differences between multiracial (n = 60) and monoracial (n = 89) students of color on these variables were explored. Participants completed the Racial Experience Measure (Yoo et al., 2016), the Sense of Belonging Instrument (Hagerty & Patusky, 1995), and the Everyday Discrimination Scale (Williams et al., 1997). Multiple regression analyses indicated that greater discrimination specific to having a mixed-race background and experiences of everyday prejudice were associated with lower levels of sense of belonging. Resilience factors were not related to sense of belonging. When compared to monoracial students of color, t-tests revealed that multiracial participants had a higher sense of belonging than monoracial participants in terms of perceiving that a person’s values are congruent with others. Together, these findings suggest that reducing discrimination on campus is imperative to support multiracial students at PWIs.
