“…First-generation students seemed to feel lonelier than non-first-generation students. There is limited research based on this variable, and it is in accordance with the findings of this study, as previous research has indicated that first-generation students do not develop peer support to establish meaningful social relationships, which leads to a lack of belonging and social fulfillment and, ultimately, loneliness (Huerta & Fishman, 2014;Rayle & Chung, 2008;Stebleton et al, 2014).…”

Loneliness is a common concern among university students, as these individuals experience many of the risk factors associated with loneliness. This experience of loneliness tends to lead to numerous consequences such as negative self-evaluations, anxiety, and depression, which in turn lead to impaired concentration and a decline in academic motivation and performance. The overarching aims of this study were to identify the predictor variable(s) or combination of predictor variables, namely self-esteem, interpersonal communication competence, and media and technology usage, that explain a significant percentage of the variance in loneliness amongst undergraduate university students, as well as to investigate whether differences exist in loneliness with regards to gender, ethnicity, and generational status. The sample consisted of 1,191 South African undergraduate university students between the ages of 18 and 30. This study was non-experimental in nature and a correlational research design was used. The results indicated that the combination of the independent (predictor) variables accounted for 51.9% of the variance in the Loneliness scores of the sample. Interpersonal Communication Competence and Self-esteem served as statistically and practically significant individual predictor variables of the students’ loneliness. Male students and first-generation students tend to be lonelier than female students and non-first-generation students, respectively.

“…(p. 444) Mattering has great explanatory power. The presence or absence of mattering has been connected to numerous outcomes, including suicidal behaviors (Elliot et al, 2005); mental health and distress (Batchelder & Hagan, 2022;Flett, 2018;Taylor & Turner, 2001); resilience and adjustment during life transitions (Flett & Zangeneh, 2020;Froidevaux et al, 2016;Schlossberg, 1989); and persistence, empowerment, and belonging for marginalized groups (Huerta & Fishman, 2014;Palmer & Maramba, 2012). This explanatory power has been demonstrated among adolescents as well as adults, with links to violence (Elliot et al, 2011), hope, and academic selfefficacy (Somers et al, 2022).…”

Whereas the behavioral and health sciences have been mainly concerned with the private good, there is an urgent need to understand and foster the collective good. Without a coherent framework for the common good, it will be extremely difficult to prevent and manage crises such as pandemics, illness, climate change, poverty, discrimination, injustice, and inequality, all of which affects marginalized populations disproportionally. While frameworks for personal well-being abound in psychology, psychiatry, counseling, and social work, conceptualizations of collective well-being are scarce. Our search for foundations of the common good resulted in the identification of three psychosocial goods: mattering, wellness, and fairness. There are several reasons for choosing them, including the fact that they concurrently advance personal, relational, and collective value. In addition, they represent basic human motivations, have considerable explanatory power, exist at multiple ecological levels, and have significant transformative potential. The complementary nature of the three goods is illustrated in an interactional model. Based on empirical evidence, we suggest that conditions of justice lead to experiences of mattering, which, in turn, enhance wellness. Challenges and opportunities afforded by the model at the intrapersonal, interpersonal, occupational, communal, national, and global levels are presented. The proposed psychosocial goods are used to formulate a culture for the common good in which we balance the right with the responsibility to feel valued and add value, to self and others, in order to promote not just wellness but also fairness.

“…Meetings between students and college staff are not intended to be discouraging or to guilt students who have an active role in their family or provide financial support to their household (Martinez & Huerta, 2019;Sáenz & Ponjuan, 2009). We instead stress the potential for one-on-one meetings to draw strength and motivation from familial actors involved in students' lives as a source of inspiration (Huerta & Fishman, 2018;Rendo ´n, 2002;Yosso, 2005). Families can and should be seen as assets to and resources for Latino/x community This document is copyrighted by the American Psychological Association or one of its allied publishers.…”
