Close Relationships and Culture01:29

Close Relationships and Culture

4
Culture shapes how people approach attraction, choose partners, and build long-term relationships. While some preferences in mate selection appear consistent across cultures, such as men valuing physical attractiveness and women emphasizing financial resources, cultural contexts influence how these preferences are expressed and prioritized. Marriage extends beyond romantic ideals in many societies and is deeply embedded in social, economic, and religious frameworks.The Role of Culture in Mate...

Stereotypes, Prejudice, and Discrimination

91.7K
Humans are very diverse and although we share many similarities, we also have many differences. The social groups we belong to help form our identities (Tajfel, 1974). These differences may be difficult for some people to reconcile, which may lead to prejudice toward people who are different. Prejudice is a negative attitude and feeling toward an individual based solely on one’s membership in a particular social group (Allport, 1954; Brown, 2010). Prejudice is common against people who...

Influence of Parents and Peers on Identity

Adolescence is a pivotal period of identity formation, during which individuals begin to answer questions central to their sense of self, such as "Who am I?" and "Who do I hope to become?" Both parents and peers play critical roles in guiding adolescents through this complex developmental phase.

In- and Out-Groups

40.2K
People all belong to a gender, race, age, and social economic group. These groups provide a powerful source of our identity and self-esteem (Tajfel & Turner, 1979) and serve as our in-groups. An in-group is a group that we identify with or see ourselves as belonging to.

Sources of Self-Esteem III: Social Comparison

15
Social comparison plays a fundamental role in the evaluation of personal success and self-worth. Rather than assessing our achievements in isolation, we interpret their significance relative to personal goals and critically in comparison to the performance of others. A grade of B in a mathematics exam might elicit pride if one's expectation was a C, yet result in disappointment if an A was anticipated or if peers achieved superior results. These comparative evaluations illustrate how both...

Equity Theory01:26

Equity Theory

5
Equity theory explains how our sense of fairness influences the dynamics of close relationships. Rooted in social psychology, the theory posits that individuals evaluate fairness by comparing the ratio of their contributions to the rewards they receive. Relationship satisfaction is highest when these ratios are perceived as balanced between partners, promoting mutual reciprocity and a sense of justice.Equity vs. Equality in RelationshipsEquity is distinct from equality. Fairness does not...

Area of Science:

  • Sociology
  • Higher Education Studies
  • Inequality Research

Background:

  • Institutional integration is a key concept in understanding student success and social mobility.
  • Existing literature highlights inequalities in higher education but often lacks detailed comparative analysis of first-generation students.
  • Understanding integration is crucial for addressing disparities in educational and social outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To systematically compare campus integration inequalities between first-generation and continuing-generation students.
  • To examine how academic versus social integration differs for first-generation students.
  • To investigate the influence of employment and other status attributes on integration.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized multi-wave survey and university records data from a large public university.
  • Conducted comparative analyses disaggregated by student generation status (first-generation vs. continuing-generation).
  • Examined integration across academic and social dimensions, considering gender, race/ethnicity, and employment.

Main Results:

  • First-generation students exhibit clear overall inequalities in campus integration, irrespective of gender or race/ethnicity.
  • First-generation students are more likely to be employed, which negatively impacts their integration opportunities.
  • Pronounced integration inequalities are observed in academic and social forms with bureaucratic or resource barriers.

Conclusions:

  • Findings underscore significant integration disparities for first-generation students in higher education.
  • Student employment can act as a barrier to integration, complicating the university experience.
  • Sociological concepts of institutional integration and mobility need to account for first-generation specific challenges.
