摘要

The current study examined associations between ethnic–racial identity (ERI) exploration and resolution, positive and negative conversations about one’s ethnicity/race, and racial discrimination predicting grade point average (GPA) and alcohol use. We also tested for sex differences. Participants included 1033 emerging adult students of color ages 18–22 (M = 18.45, SD = 9.39) who identified as African American, Latine, Asian American, and Multiracial. Regarding GPA, results indicated that ERI exploration predicted higher GPA for females, but not males. Positive conversations about race predicted higher GPA for males, but not females. ERI resolution, negative conversations about race, and racial discrimination did not predict GPA for males or females. Regarding alcohol use, negative conversations about race predicted greater alcohol use for males, but not females. Findings underscore that positive and negative cultural experiences differentially inform academic achievement and alcohol use among male and female college students of color.
