The role of collectivism among Latino American college students
In an attempt to explain the lower Latino college graduation rate, the current study focuses on collectivism in kin and nonkin helping situations.

Racial identity was independent of psychological distress, suggesting that African American students' racial identity predicts psychological distress only in settings in which they ar…
