Race-Related Stress and Sociocultural Orientation Among Latino Students During Their Transition Into a Predominately White, Highly Selective Institution

Title V—Developing Hispanic Serving Institutions Grant at Pueblo Community College in Colorado

This longitudinal study examines minority status stress and socio-cultural orientation among Latino freshmen as they enter a predominately White, elite, private institution. The study finds Latino freshmen report experiencing racism. Students respond to racism by developing an alienated sociocultural orientation and beginning to see their Latino peers as a source of support.
