Using critical race theory and quantitative criticalist stance, this study examines the construct validity of an engagement survey, Student Experiences in the Research University (SERU) for Latino college students through exploratory factor analysis. Results support the principal seven-factor SERU model. However subfactors exhibited differential structure patterns suggesting sense of agency, initiative-taking, self-competency, and self-efficacy as a means of reflecting potential cultural nuances relative to Latinos. Implications highlight sociocultural values and perspectives to understand engagement based on Latino students' unique college experiences and meaning making. ResumenUsando la teoría racial crítica y una posición crítica cuantitativa, este estudio examina la validez cultural de una encuesta de compromiso, SERU-Experiencias Estudiantiles en la Universidad de Investigación a través de análisis factoriales exploratorios. Resultados apoyan el modelo principal SERU factor -7. Sin embargo sutilezas culturales exhibieron sub-factores que enfatizan el papel de la cultura latina, el sentido de pertenencia, la toma de iniciativas, el sentirse competente, y el ser autosuficiente. Implicaciones subrayan valores y perspectivas socioculturales, las cuales definen el compromiso basadas en significados y experiencias universitarias únicas de estudiantes latinos.
