In the present study, regression analyses were used to determine whether particular domains of perceived competence, alienation from school, and cultural mistrust of society in general predicted judgments of global self-worth and global self-discrepancy in a group of African American high school dropouts in a compensatory program. The participants were 31 African American high school dropouts between 16 and 24 years of age (M = 17.7 years, SD = 1.81) who were enrolled in a state-sponsored high school completion program. Perceived job competence and peer-related social competence were the most significant predictors of self-evaluations. Cultural mistrust of society was associated with students' self-evaluation and overshadowed alienation from school in the prediction of global self-worth. The implications of these results for interventions with African American high school dropouts in this type of program are discussed.
在本研究中，回归分析被用于确定在一个补偿项目中，一组非裔美国高中辍学生在感知能力、学校疏离感以及对社会的普遍文化不信任等特定领域，是否能够预测其总体自我价值判断和总体自我差异。参与者为31名年龄在16至24岁之间的非裔美国高中辍学生（平均年龄M = 17.7岁，标准差SD = 1.81），他们参加了一个由州政府资助的高中完成项目。感知到的工作能力和与同伴相关的社交能力是自我评估的最显著预测因素。对社会的文化不信任与学生的自我评估相关，并且在预测总体自我价值时，其影响力超过了学校疏离感。本文讨论了这些结果对这类项目中干预非裔美国高中辍学生的启示。
