A plethora of challenges prevents immigrant students, particularly undocumented students, from succeeding in college at the same rate as U.S. citizens. This study drew on national data to operationalize a model based on the undocufriendly campus framework (Suárez-Orozco, Katsiaficas, et al., 2015).
A total of 501 immigrant students, including 114 with precarious immigration statuses, completed measures on perceptions of welcoming campus climate, positive mental health, anxiety, and persistence confidence in college. Data were analyzed using path analyses in structural equation modeling.
Results suggested that precarious immigration status was linked to lower perceptions of welcoming campus climate, lower positive mental health, and higher anxiety. In turn, welcoming campus climate was linked to higher positive mental health and lower anxiety. The latter mental health variables were predictive of persistence confidence in college.
Findings are discussed in relation to federal and campus policies to support immigrant students. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2024 APA, all rights reserved).
大量挑战导致移民学生，特别是无证学生，无法像美国公民那样在大学取得成功。本研究利用全国数据，根据不友好无证校园框架（Suárez-Orozco、Katsiaficas 等人，2015 年）构建模型。
共有 501 名移民学生，其中 114 名移民身份不稳定，完成了对欢迎校园氛围、积极心理健康、焦虑和对大学坚持信心的感知的测量。使用结构方程建模中的路径分析对数据进行分析。
结果表明，不稳定的移民身份与对欢迎校园氛围的感知较低、积极心理健康水平较低和焦虑程度较高有关。反过来，欢迎的校园氛围与更高的积极心理健康和更低的焦虑有关。后者的心理健康变量可预测对大学的坚持信心。
研究结果与支持移民学生的联邦和校园政策有关。（美国心理协会，2024 年）。
