College Student Political Participation in the Context of a Polarized Nation and an International Pandemic: Do Campus Civic Engagement Efforts Matter?

U.S. universities devote substantial resources to increasing student political engagement, especially voting; research identifies several factors affecting student political participation, including socialization theories (e.g. family, friends, school), distance from home (Niemi and Hanmer), and choice architecture (Thaler, Sunstein, and Balz). Other research suggests that increased party polarization leads to higher voter turnout (Abramowitz and Stone; Crepaz). Our study sought to understand student political behavior (voting and registration) and political polarization during fall 2020 in the context of a polarized nation and an international pandemic. Based on 326 surveys of undergraduates and in-depth follow-up interviews, where 85% of our student sample reported voting, results suggest support for several factors that contribute to voting: level of political information efficacy, participation in campus organizations and events, friends, and family. On measures of social distance (“polarization”), participants felt more distant from Trump and less distant from Biden, and participants who felt closer to Biden felt significantly more prepared to vote than participants who felt distant to Biden. Surprisingly, minority students were less likely to vote. A second analysis compared a subsample of student fraternity/sorority members (“Greek” members) from 2016 and those from 2020. The 2020 Greek members voted at higher rates and were more active on social media although voter registration rates did not differ. Results suggest that several factors contributed to student voting in our sample: parent/family encouragement, a cultivated campus voting culture, campus outreach efforts to first year students, and increased voting avenues during the pandemic.

#BetterTogether: examining race-related crisis communication on a university campus

ABSTRACT This case study examines crisis communication during a series of racial incidents at the University of Oklahoma (OU) using the discourse of renewal theory and corporate responsibility to race (CRR) theory. Crisis messaging analysis showed organizational learning, ethical communication, prospective vision, and engaging rhetoric differences. OU’s crisis messaging differed greatly from its mission statement’s DEI goals. Conversely, several campus organizations more successfully communicated relationship management and emotional intelligence than OU. Comparison to preceding leadership during previous racial incidents showed stakeholders perceived previous racial incidents were better handled. Our study expands on discourse of renewal and CRR by showing key stakeholders – students, faculty, staff, and alumni – want racial incidents handled swiftly and decisively, with a clear university-level commitment to DEI efforts. In a U.S. higher education climate fraught with anti-DEI sentiment and tense racial relations this study shows the responsibility of leadership in responding to racial crises and stakeholder-preferred responses.

RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN FEAR OF MISSING OUT (FOMO) AND SELF-EFFICACY AT THE LEVEL OF STUDENT ORGANIZATION PARTICIPATION

Self-efficacy is a belief in a person's ability to achieve and improve life achievements. Therefore, individuals need to have a good level of self-efficacy. Self-efficacy supports being confident in socializing, especially in the campus environment. However, the idea of joining an organization raises the fear of not completing the study period on time, causing student participation rates in joining organizations on campus to decrease. This research aims to analyze the influence of factors that influence students' interest in joining an organization on campus. Utility theory is used as the theoretical basis for this research. The methodology used in this research is quantitative, with primary data obtained through random sampling techniques taken from 264 respondents in the Semarang City area. This research uses a logistic regression approach with a logit model in its estimation. The results of this study show that students with a higher grade (GPA), higher living costs, more free time, a higher level of Fear of Missing Out (FoMO), and a higher level of self-efficacy tend to be more likely to join campus organizations. This shows that the variables above positively influence interest in joining an organization. Therefore, choosing an organization that suits our interests, talents, and goals can increase self-efficacy because we will feel more competent, confident, and motivated to work together.

Troubling the complexity of student involvement in minoritized identity of sexuality and gender-based campus organizations

Research has highlighted the connection between involvement and important postsecondary outcomes such as persistence, interpersonal/intrapersonal development, civic engagement, and multicultural competence, among many others. However, for students with minoritized identities of sexuality and gender (MIoSG), engaging in identity-based organizations comes with both risks and benefits, especially in a time of increasingly prevalent anti-queer and anti-trans U.S.-based legislation. Our findings reveal the complexity of student experiences, with a specific focus on STEM students who hold MIoSG, from overall positive involvement experiences to barriers such as danger, inactive clubs, and lack of campus spaces. This focus on MIoSG students within STEM disciplines is important, as students often report STEM spaces as particularly oppressive, therefore having a high need for counter spaces where their identities are supported. These findings could help practitioners rethink how to design campus spaces where students do not have to fear for their physical, emotional, and professional safety.

THE INFLUENCE OF SELF-EFFICACY ON GENDER ROLE IN CAMPUS ORGANIZATIONS

This study aims to investigate the influence of self-efficacy on gender roles among psychology students of UIN Raden Fatah Palembang in campus organizations. This research used a quantitative approach and a causal-comparative research design. Causal-comparative research is used to examine the cause-and-effect relationship between two variables where the independent variable has already occurred and cannot be manipulated by the researcher. The independent variable in this study is self-efficacy, while the dependent variable is gender roles. The population in this study is psychology students of UIN Raden Fatah Palembang, and a sample of 30 active students participating in campus organizations was selected using purposive sampling. Data were collected using a Likert scale questionnaire, and data analysis was performed using simple linear regression analysis to test the influence of self-efficacy on gender roles. The collected data were analyzed using statistical software such as SPSS. The results indicate a strong correlation between self-efficacy and gender roles (R = 0.957), and the coefficient of determination (R Square) is 0.917, indicating a strong influence of self-efficacy on gender roles. The decision-making based on the significance value (0.000 < 0.05) and t-value (17.544 > 2.048) shows that self-efficacy has a significant influence on gender roles. The regression equation is Y = 1.951 + 0.922X, where the constant (a) is 1.951, and the coefficient of self-efficacy (b) is 0.922, indicating that an increase in self-efficacy by 1% leads to an increase in gender roles by 0.922. These findings suggest that peer and mentor support can enhance self-efficacy and participation of female students in campus organizations.
