Assessing Racial Trauma Experienced by First-Year Students of Color Attending a Mostly White University in the American Southeast
We studied the qualitative experiences of racism that first-year students reported prior to and during their first year of college. Participants included 134 first-year students (26.9% Asian, 32.1% Black/African American, 20.9% Multiracial, 20.0% Hispanic/Latino; 53.0% female; 21.6% LGBTQ+) who attended a medium-sized, predominately/historically White university in the American Southeast. Students answered open-ended questions about their lived e…
Cumulative Micro-Contextual Risk as a Predictor of Impulsivity Among Preteens: A Latent Change Score Analysis
Impulsivity has been routinely linked to problematic outcomes, but less research has identified salient predictors of impulsivity. Guided by bioecological theory and using data from the Adolescent Brain and Cognitive Development Study ( N = 11,876; 47.8% female; 52.1% White), we hypothesized that proximal processes associated with the individual (e.g., sleep), and within the family, school, and digital micro-contexts would prospectively predict t…
Microaggressions, perceptions of campus climate, mental health, and alcohol use among first‐year college students of color
Depressive and anxiety symptoms are increasingly common, and problematic alcohol use remains prevalent in college. To expand on prior research on mostly white samples, we surveyed first-year students of color from our predominately white university (Southeastern US) to identify risk factors for mental health symptoms and potentially co-occurring problematic alcohol use. Results showed significant associations between microaggressions and poor cam…
Predictors of persistent alcohol use disorder and co‐occurring depressive symptoms: Insights from the longitudinal college experiences study
INTRODUCTION: Problematic alcohol use and depression are prevalent in the college student population. The purpose of this study was to identify how personality and social-contextual factors in the first year of college work together to predict stable and potentially co-occurring alcohol use disorder (AUD) and depressive symptoms over a period of approximately 4 years. METHODS: Participants were first-year college students from the Southeastern Un…
