“…Regardless of their gender, students were more ambitious than employees. These results are in agreement with studies in which boys' and girls' university students show similar levels of ambitions (King, 2008). An explanation could relate to the malleability of gender stereotypes (Diekman & Eagly, 2000).…”

“…Referring to stereotypes, we could discuss the differing level of ambition to leadership positions women and men may have. In fact, studies with young boys and girls (Blackhurst & Richard, 2018), or with university students (King, 2008), show that they have similar levels of ambition or even that female students express higher career aspirations than male counterparts (Watts et al, 2015). Furthermore, results show that university graduates in general expect to attain future upward social mobility (Shane & Heckhausen, 2017).…”

Los obstáculos a lo largo de la carrera de las mujeres demuestran que su ambición de convertirse en líder es compleja porque está influenciada por los estereotipos y roles de género. En este estudio, se les pidió a 625 participantes (54.24% mujeres) de dos categorías (379 estudiantes y 246 empleados) que imaginaran cómo reaccionarían ante un ascenso a una posición de liderazgo y posteriormente, completaron un cuestionario que incluía sus creencias sobre las consecuencias -evaluaciones, ambición, emociones positivas y negativas e ideología de roles de género. Los estudiantes fueron más ambiciosos que los empleados, independientemente de su género. Sin embargo, al analizar el impacto de la ambición en la decisión de aceptar una posición de liderazgo, observamos que el afecto positivo generado al imaginar una promoción es el aspecto clave para finalmente decidir aceptar la promoción, tanto en estudiantes como en empleados. Sin embargo, en los estudiantes, independientemente de su género, la decisión se predice por afecto negativo, evaluaciones de auto-concepto, pero no por niveles de ambición. Obstacles along women career demonstrate how ambition for becoming a leader is complex because it is influenced by gender stereotypes and roles. In this study, 625 participants (54.24% women) from two statuses (379 students and 246 employees) were asked to imagine how they would react to a promotion to a leadership position and then completed a questionnaire including their beliefs about the consequences, core self-evaluations, ambition, positive and negative emotions, and gender role ideology. Students were more ambitious than employees, regardless of their gender. However, when analyzing the impact of ambition on the decision of accepting a leadership position we observe that positive affect generated by imagining a promotion is the key aspect to finally decide to accept the promotion in both students and employees. However, in students, regardless of their gender, the decision is predicted by negative affect, core-self evaluations but not by levels of ambition.

“…This will lead to an increase in the number of biracial or multiracial students in institutions of higher education. King [18] found that going to college actually precipitated a racial identity crisis among multiracial people, as they were unsure where they fit in. Currently, institutions of higher education provide services to students from different races, as historically these populations have attended college at lower rates than Caucasian students, and are less likely to complete their degree program.…”

“…Multiracial individuals may develop identity differently from monoracial people. Researchers have found that going to college actually precipitated a racial identity crisis among multiracial people, as they were unsure where they fit in the larger student population, often divided by race [11,18]. Demographic forms can also pose a problem for multiracial students in higher education because, while individual colleges may have demographic forms that allow students to identify multiracially, the data is collapsed and reported in only monoracial categories for some institutional or national statistical reporting [14].…”

What Are You? Multiracial Identity Development

Race is a social construct, allowing humans to categorize and organize themselves and others based on physical appearance. In the U.S., the dominant population has historically used these categories to oppress and marginalize people of color. Nevertheless, in the post-Civil Rights era, it has become more common for couples of different races to have children. In the 2000 U.S. Census, individuals were able to identify as multiracial for the first time, and over 6 million people did so. By the 2010 U.S. Census, this number had increased to 9 million people. The increase of biracial or multiracial people in the U.S. has important implications for social work practice at the micro, mezzo, and macro levels. How multiracial people come to understand themselves, how society views people who are multiracial, and the effect on social policy are all different areas that could affect social work practice. This study explored the experience of multiracial university students, a subsection of the larger population of multiracial people in the U.S. This was an action research study regarding the development of racial identity in a group of university students who are multiracial, as well as the development of advocacy strategies to encourage awareness of multiracial people in the larger university community. Seven university students in a mid-sized, western state university participated in this study and completed a PhotoVoice project to raise awareness of the multiracial student population at the university. This study seeks to expand the knowledge base of multiracial identity development and inform social work practice with this population.

“…Such assumptions contradict contemporary data which indicate that students entering higher education increasingly have multiracial identities. Even though the multiracial student population continues to grow in colleges and universities, many multiracial students continue to face racial microaggressions, feelings of exclusion, and a persistent struggle to define their racial identity within their campus cultures (Kellogg & Liddell, 2012;King, Renn, & Shang, 2008;Harris, 2017;Renn, 2000).…”
