The present study investigated the relationship between system-justifying beliefs (i.e., believing the United States to be fair and just for all racial and ethnic groups) during the 1st semester of college and trajectories of self-worth across 4 years of college among Black and Latinx college students attending an elite predominantly White institution.
Participants in this 5-wave longitudinal study included 186 Black and Latinx college students (30% male; 26% 1st-generation college students; Mage = 18 years, SD = 0.36).
The results of latent growth curve modeling analyses indicated that system-justifying beliefs were positively related to initial levels of self-worth and negatively related to trajectories of self-worth over time.
Findings from the present study suggest that although initially beneficial, system-justifying beliefs may undermine self-evaluations among Black and Latinx college students over time. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2021 APA, all rights reserved).
本研究调查了美国顶尖白人为主导大学的黑人及拉丁裔大学生在大学第一学期的系统合理化信念（即相信美国对所有种族和民族都是公平公正的）与四年大学生涯中自我价值轨迹之间的关系。
本 5 波纵向研究的参与者包括 186 名黑人及拉丁裔大学生（30%为男性；26%为第一代大学生；平均年龄为 18 岁，标准差=0.36）。
潜在增长曲线模型分析的结果表明，系统合理化信念与初始自我价值水平呈正相关，与随时间推移的自我价值轨迹呈负相关。
本研究的结果表明，尽管系统合理化信念最初是有益的，但随着时间的推移，它可能会破坏黑人及拉丁裔大学生的自我评价。
