Communal Goals, Campus Racial Climate Perceptions, and Cultural Differences in Perceived Academic Satisfaction

Abstract

Although some research has examined Latino collectivism and Latino students' campus climate perceptions, there remains a gap in the literature regarding the interactive effects of these two constructs. Therefore, the authors examined the moderating effect that perceptions of campus racial climate may have on the relationship between communal goals and academic major satisfaction for Latino students in comparison with European American students. Contrary to prediction, perceptions of a positive university campus racial climate moderated the relationship between communal goals and academic satisfaction for European American students but not Latino students. Specifically, European Americans endorsing higher communal goals were more likely to report higher academic satisfaction when holding a positive perception of the university's racial climate. However, a main effect was observed whereby communal goals were a significant positive predictor of academic satisfaction for Latino students. Implications for research and practice are discussed.

Research on Tibetan Folk’s Contemporary Tibetan Cultural Adaptive Differences and Its Influencing Factors—Taking ShigatseCity, Tibet, China as an Example

“…The better the Tibetan people adapt to the modern part of contemporary local culture, the more they can avoid the uncertainty in the process of cultural adaptation [7]. Normally, the relationships between the cultural environment and the folks' communal goals, perceptions, and satisfaction have a moderating effect, and there is a significant positive correlation between the common goals and satisfaction [92]. The more satisfied the Tibetan people are with the experience of the social and cultural environment formed by the modern part of the local culture, the more comprehensive the state's transfer at the Tibetan people's personal internal scale and the interpersonal cultural empathy supported by the behavioral planning theory [91].…”
