“…Rodriguez, Guido-DiBrito, Torres, and Talbot (2000) placed these barriers in two categories: those that exist prior to entering college and those confronted upon enrollment. Prior to entering college, many Hispanics have to deal with the disadvantages associated with low socioeconomic status and the effects of cultural stereotyping.…”

“…One of the many consequences of being poor is attending segregated, poorly financed schools that can lead to low achievement and high dropout rates. In addition, many Hispanics have been affected by damaging stereotypes that have portrayed Hispanics as undisciplined, fatalistic, and irrational (Rodriguez et al, 2000). With regard to barriers while in college, Rodriguez et al found that many Hispanics have to confront being academically underprepared and deal with the stress factors related to their finances.…”

“…A disproportionate number of Hispanic college students lack the adequate high school college-preparation courses to succeed in college.

This study used the social cognitive theory of well-being (SCTW; Lent, 2004) to examine the role of career decision self-efficacy (CDSE), perceived educational barriers, and independent self-construal on the life satisfaction of 176 Mexican American college women. A 3-step hierarchical regression analysis indicated that independent self-construal, CDSE, and fewer perceived educational barriers significantly predicted greater life satisfaction among Mexican American college women above and beyond the influence of socioeconomic status and generational status. These findings are consistent with SCTW and highlight the need for counselors and researchers to be aware of the role that self-construal, CDSE, and perceived educational barriers can have on Mexican American women's life satisfaction. Implications for practice at the secondary-school and university levels are discussed.

This study assessed the influence of cultural orientation and cultural fit of 121 Latina undergraduates' help-seeking attitudes. Mexican and Anglo orientation, cultural congruity, and perceptions of the university environment did not predict help-seeking attitudes; however, differences emerged by class standing and self-reported previous counseling experience. Implications for university counselors are provided.
