1. Inter-Ethnic Relations on Campus: The Color of Hatred.

Author

Mack, Delores E., Tucker, Traci W., and Cha, Susan Oh

Abstract

Undergraduate students (N=1,271) from a consortium of small private colleges in California, a mid-size university in California, a large public university in Texas, and a large commuter university in Illinois were surveyed on their experience with ethnic and racial hatred. Based upon self-report, 54.3% of the sample were European American, 18% were Asian American, 8% were Latino, and 5.4% were African American. Also, 9.4% were multi-ethnic and 4.2% were other. The results indicated that while students from all ethnic groups were victims of hate incidents, they occurred more frequently for African Americans and Latinos. While it is clear that hate incidents and discrimination create a tense and hostile social climate on campus, it has yet to be determined how it affects academic functioning of ethnic minority students. Data indicates therapists should carefully assess a student's perception of hate incidents, racism, and discrimination on campus. Counselors have a responsibility to address hate incidents proactively. Research is needed on the ways to reduce hate crimes and improve inter-ethnic interactions.

2. Inter-Ethnic Relations on Campus: Can't We All Get Along?

Author

Mack, Delores E.

Abstract

Seniors (N=150) from five private colleges completed and returned a survey consisting of five sections: (1) the Multigroup Ethnic Identity Measure; (2) demographic information and questions about the extent of the respondent's interaction with other racial/ethnic groups; (3) questions about comfort level when interacting with Asian, White, Black, and Hispanic individuals; (4) student's perception of the college environment, with questions about the interracial climate, college support for ethnic group activities, ethnic self-segregation, pressure to attend ethnic activities and others; and (5) a request to list the names (or code names) of their good friends and indicate their ethnicity. Data collected from these surveys suggest that political correctness may make it difficult to obtain accurate data from respondents; more subtle measures of attitudes and interactions should be considered for future studies. The data also indicate that ethnic minority groups differ not only from White students, but also from each other in how they perceive and interact with each other. Future research should not only map out the patterns of interaction, but indicate at least limited ways in which ethnic interaction can be improved. Contains 44 references and 6 tables. (TS)

Author

Mack, Delores E.

Abstract

This study describes and evaluates the first two years of a student counseling center in a Nigerian university.
