Finding Place: Cognitive and Psychosocial Factors Impacting Latina/o Students’ Sense of Belonging (Carales & Nora, 2020)

Guided by several theoretical approaches to student success, this study tested cognitive and non-cognitive variables including a set of background, financial, and psychosocial factors. Regression analysis revealed five foci that predicted Latinx student’s sense of belonging at a Hispanic Serving Institution. These included (1) finances/financial aid, (2) psychosocial experiences, (3) racial attitudes and beliefs, (4) high school academic performance, and (5) the notion of change in a student’s life.
