Abstract
Abstract:Resilience is a key component in the success equation for many students attending a historically Black college or university (HBCU). Although traditional indicators of prior academic achievement are often used to predict persistence to degree completion, there is growing support for including latent non-cognitive characteristics into this model. The current study surveyed third-year African American HBCU students using the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale to gauge their existing resilience. Results indicated that the instrument was appropriate for use with this cohort, who displayed slightly higher than average resilience compared to the general population, which could have been due to the respondent’s already persisting to their junior year. More research is needed to address the relationship between resilience and other sociodemographic, environmental, and institutional factors that may impact HBCU students’ prior to, and across the entire range of their college career.
期刊介绍：
The Journal of Negro Education (JNE), a refereed scholarly periodical, was founded at Howard University in 1932 to fill the need for a scholarly journal that would identify and define the problems that characterized the education of Black people in the United States and elsewhere, provide a forum for analysis and solutions, and serve as a vehicle for sharing statistics and research on a national basis. JNE sustains a commitment to a threefold mission: first, to stimulate the collection and facilitate the dissemination of facts about the education of Black people; second, to present discussions involving critical appraisals of the proposals and practices relating to the education of Black people.
