A national, Web-based survey of 1,219 African American, Latina/o, Asian American, and European American psychology graduate students revealed both similarities and differences in experiences and perspectives. Mentoring was found to be the strongest predictor of satisfaction across groups. Academic supports and barriers, along with perceptions of diversity within the academic environment, were also important predictors of satisfaction. Students of color perceived less fairness of representation of their ethnic group within psychology than European American students, and a greater linkage between aspects of the graduate school experience and their ethnicity. Limitations of the study and implications for future research and action are discussed.
一项针对 1219 名非裔美国、拉丁裔/西班牙裔、亚裔美国和欧裔美国心理学研究生的全国性网络调查揭示了他们在经历和观点上的异同。研究发现,导师指导是各群体满意度的最强预测因素。学术支持和障碍,以及对学术环境多样性的看法,也是满意度的重要预测因素。与欧裔美国学生相比,有色人种学生认为心理学领域代表性不够公正,并且他们更倾向于将研究生院经历与自己的族裔联系起来。研究还讨论了该研究的局限性以及对未来研究和行动的启示。
