Ethnic Identity within a Larger Culture01:27

Ethnic Identity within a Larger Culture

28
Adolescents from ethnic minority backgrounds face a multifaceted journey in forming their identities, shaped by the intersections of cultural expectations and personal exploration. For these adolescents, identity formation involves not only typical developmental challenges but also navigating the perceptions and attitudes of the majority culture. As they grow, adolescents in ethnic minority groups often become increasingly aware of stereotypes, social biases, and discrimination, all of which...

Surveys

Often, psychologists develop surveys as a means of gathering data. Surveys are lists of questions to be answered by research participants, and can be delivered as paper-and-pencil questionnaires, administered electronically, or conducted verbally. Generally, the survey itself can be completed in a short time, and the ease of administering a survey makes it easy to collect data from a large number of people.

The barriers to effective communication also include cultural barriers, semantic barriers, gender barriers, and time constraints.
Cultural barriers:
Differences in values, beliefs, religion, knowledge, and tradition can significantly impact communication. Awareness of nonverbal cues is critical, especially when conversing with a patient from a different culture. What appears appropriate in one culture may be inappropriate in another.
Semantic barriers:
As a result of their tendency to use...

Stereotype Threat and Self-fulfilling Prophecies

37.4K
When we hold a stereotype about a person, we have expectations that he or she will fulfill that stereotype. A self-fulfilling prophecy is an expectation held by a person that alters his or her behavior in a way that tends to make it true. When we hold stereotypes about a person, we tend to treat the person according to our expectations. This treatment can influence the person to act according to our stereotypic expectations, thus confirming our stereotypic beliefs. Research by Rosenthal and...

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.
Parental Influence on Identity Development
Parents serve as primary guides and managers in an adolescent's life, offering support instrumental in decision-making and personal growth....

Barriers to Effective Communication I

8.7K
A communication barrier is any distortion or interruption during a conversation, resulting in miscommunication of the message. A good communicator should know these barriers and continuously check for the listener's understanding by obtaining feedback.
Communication barriers include the following:
Physiological barriers: They are limitations caused by a person's health condition or disability, such as hearing loss, poor eyesight, illness, or unconsciousness. An example to overcome this...

Area of Science:

  • Higher Education
  • Student Success Interventions
  • Psychology

Background:

  • Graduate school attrition rates are notably high, with underrepresented students facing approximately 50% greater challenges.
  • Identifying and enhancing predictors of student success is crucial for retention in graduate programs.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the impact of an online group coaching intervention on skills predicting graduate student success.
  • To assess changes in the Hallmark of Success indices, developed by the National Institutes of Health (NIH), following the intervention.

Main Methods:

  • An online group coaching intervention comprising eight sessions delivered over the first year of graduate school.
  • A controlled experimental design comparing an intervention group with a control group.
  • Assessment of the Hallmark of Success indices using a 44-item pre- and post-questionnaire measuring self-perceived student performance in nine areas.

Main Results:

  • Students in the experimental coaching group demonstrated significant increases in seven out of nine Hallmark of Success indices compared to a null model.
  • Significant pre- and post-survey differences were observed across all nine indices of success for the experimental group.
  • The coaching model was perceived by students as improving their performance.

Conclusions:

  • The online group coaching intervention is a cost-effective model that positively impacts key indicators of graduate student success.
  • The intervention shows promise in improving skills related to resilience, accountability, and professional development, potentially mitigating attrition.
