Exploring the Role of Community Cultural Wealth in Graduate School Access and Persistence for Mexican American PhDs

Advisory Relationship as a Moderator Between Research Self‐Efficacy, Motivation, and Productivity Among Counselor Education Doctoral Students

“…Using a qualitative approach, Zhou () found in a sample of six science, technology, engineering, and mathematics doctoral students that persistence of research activities and doctoral studies was encouraged by the students' desire to avoid perceived shame from family and friends from quitting their doctoral programs. Espino () found similar results from interviewing 33 Hispanic doctoral graduates. Overall, students are not exclusively motivated by one reason to conduct research, and students may have different motivations that interact together to help them persist in their research activities (Zhou, ).…”

“…However, a particularly new finding was that failure avoidance motivation negatively correlated with research productivity. Students motivated by failure avoidance may concentrate on fulfilling program research requirements (e.g., dissertations) that have severe consequences if uncompleted (Espino, ; Zhou, ) rather than seeking out other research projects; they may engage in fewer research activities, and thus have fewer publications. Our findings provide preliminary evidence for how fear of failure could contribute to fewer research publications, given that fewer research projects reflect fewer opportunities to fail.…”

“…For example, Reisetter et al () found that many participants engaged in qualitative research because of a congruence between qualitative research methodologies and interest in certain research questions. However, students may also continue to participate in research activities for external rewards, as suggested by studies across different academic fields (Espino, ; Zhou, ). Using a sample of 33 CE doctoral students, Hoskins and Goldberg () found that job marketability and opportunities were important reasons for students to conduct research and continue in their graduate program.…”

“…Such oversights in examining factors relating to research productivity can negatively affect research training and programming for CE doctoral students. Thus, to increase the readiness of counselor educators to teach and mentor doctoral students into strong researchers, we drew from previous research (Espino, ; Hoskins & Goldberg, ; Kahn, ; Kahn & Schlosser, ; Lambie et al, ; Lambie & Vaccaro, ; Morrison & Lent, ; Protivnak & Foss, ; Zhou, ) to examine how the student factors of research self‐efficacy and motivation, and the external variable of advisory relationship, relate to the research productivity of CE doctoral students.…”

Uncovering Forms of Wealth and Capital Using Asset Frameworks in Engineering Education

“…Unearned advantage *Spiritual or religious capital is not included in the CCW framework, but has been suggested by Espino 22 , and was emergent in our findings.…”
