Navigating Transitioning Experiences: A Review of Ethnic Minority First-generation College Students in Chinese Higher Education

Since the 1980s, educational opportunity programs aimed at reducing the disparities between ethnic minority groups and the Han have been implemented in China. In reflection of the policies, the China College Student Survey (CCSS) finds a positive trend of enrollment from first-generation college students with rural backgrounds in the past ten years. An increasing number of scholarly works have also investigated the effects of policies on ethnic minority college students and proposed recommendations for improving policies to assist individuals in adapting to college life. This paper considers the importance of resilience in transitional experiences on both academic and life outcomes and reviews both quantitative and qualitative studies on ethnic minority university students experiences in Han-dominant urban areas. Through Tummala-Narras multicultural resilience framework, this paper concludes three dimensions of resilience employed by ethnic minority individualsresilience as active capital accumulation, resilience as hope and empowerment, and resilience as social supportand finds that to ensure well-being in the Chinese context, individuals most likely find resilience from their personal abilities and interactions with mainstream culture, while downplaying the role of community and family support. In the future, cross-sectional, periodic, and longitudinal data can be introduced to the topic as waves of cultural, economic, and policy shifts engender different experiences for each cohort generation and the diverse pool of ethnic minority students. Considering the fluidity and context-dependent nature of resilience, future studies could probe into how resilience functions in multicultural workspaces post-college and how identities concerning race and ethnicity shape economic relations.

STUDY ON PATRIOTIC EDUCATION AND CHANGES OF PATRIOTIC EMOTION AND BEHAVIOR OF ETHNIC MINORITY COLLEGE STUDENTS

Backgroundthe era of we media has brought new carriers for patriotic education and psychological training of ethnic minorities. On the one hand, it solves the disadvantages of the single training channels and methods of ethnic minorities in the past, and brings new opportunities for ethnic minorities to carry out patriotic education. However, due to its flexibility, universality and virtuality, it brings new difficulties to standardize management and correctly guide public opinion. Especially in the international comprehensive competition, dealing with the regional hot spots caused by ethnic issues has become more complex. Therefore, starting with the demonstration of the theoretical logic of patriotism education and psychology, and according to the characteristics of the we media era, this paper discusses the contemporary significance of patriotism education for ethnic minority students and the logical structure of patriotism psychology from multiple dimensions. In order to better promote the patriotic education of ethnic minorities, the use of scientific emotional behavior change is particularly important.Research Objects and MethodsThis study aims to analyze the contemporary significance of patriotic education for ethnic minorities and the characteristics of the logical structure of patriotism psychology. Taking the minority groups of Hunan Judicial Police College as an example, this paper analyzes the differences between self media based patriotism education and ignoring patriotism education, demonstrates the contemporary significance of minority patriotism education, analyzes the differences in their patriotism psychological practice logic, and takes the Han group as the comparative object. This study adopts the perceived social support scale (PSSs) background and purpose social support is regarded as one of the important mediating factors determining the relationship between psychological stress and health. Social support specifically refers to the spiritual and material help and support given to individuals from all aspects of society, including families, relatives, friends, colleagues, partners, party groups, trade unions and other organizations. It reflects the closeness and quality of a person's relationship with society. However, various researchers have different understandings from their respective theories and research purposes, and their classification is also diverse. At present, it can be roughly divided into two categories. One is objective, practical or visible support, including material direct assistance and social networks. The other is subjective experience support, which refers to the emotional experience and / or satisfaction of individuals who feel respected, supported and understood in society. Many authors emphasize that the effect of social support is consistent with the degree of perceived support. The perceived social support scale (PSSs) introduced by Blumenthal and compiled by zimet et al. Is a social support scale that emphasizes individual self understanding and self feeling. It measures the degree of support perceived by individuals from various social support sources such as family, friends and others, and reflects the total degree of social support felt by individuals with the total score.ResultsThe analysis shows that patriotism education for ethnic minority students through self media is a deep integration of historical development and the characteristics of the times, an important tool for the reunification of the motherland and national unity, and a powerful guarantee based on the nation and facing the world. It is imperative to carry out patriotism education. Secondly, the logic of minority students' patriotism can be divided into three dimensions: cognition, emotion and action, which are interdependent and mutually reinforcing. The results showed that the promotion degree of patriotism education was positively correlated with ethnic areas, but there was no statistical significance (P > 0.05). Among the students' psychological anxiety, debilitating anxiety dominated, and the results were statistically significant (P < 0.01). This means that weak anxiety can be used as an indicator of changes in patriotism.Conclusionaccording to the characteristics of the we media era and the characteristics of ethnic minorities, carrying out patriotism education is of great significance to the reunification and prosperity of the motherland, coping with national hot issues and realizing the “Chinese dream”. Combined with the patriotic psychological logical structure of “cognition emotion action”, this paper constructs a three-tier structure of “socialist core values - Network Security - Network Morality” from the content; Formally, we can establish a progressive model of “loving ourselves, the people, the country, the society and the country”; In terms of institutional mechanism, we can build a multi-level structure of “school school department class”. However, the current research results emphasize the logic of theory and practice, and reveal the law in combination with the characteristics of the we media era. The improvement of subjective well-being of ethnic minorities still has certain limitations, which can consolidate their patriotic mentality and long-term persistence. It plays a positive role in regulating the patriotism of the whole society.AcknowledgementsSupported by a project grant from Hunan Social Science Achievement Evaluation Committee in 2021(XSP21YBC058): Research on Patriotism education of Ethnic minority college students in the We media era.

Influence of Acculturation in Yunnan’s Ethnic Minority College Students on Their Academic Achievement: The Moderating Role of Learning Motivation

&lt;p style="text-align:justify"&gt;This study examined the effect of Yunnan’s ethnic minority college students’ acculturation on their academic achievement under the risk of the Matthew effect. Additionally, the role played by learning motivation in the relationship between ethnic minority college students’ acculturation and academic achievement was explored. A total of 403 valid questionnaires were collected from four areas in Yunnan province, China. Consequently, the Acculturation Scale, Academic Achievement Scale, and Learning Motivation Scale were used for measurement materials. These items of scales were evaluated on a five-point Likert scale ranging from 1 (strongly disagree) to 5 (strongly agree). SPSS (statistical package for the social sciences) and AMOS (analysis of a moment structures) softwares were used for data analyses. In addition, items were analyzed through item analysis, confirmatory factor analysis, reliability analysis and regression analysis. These results indicated that ethnic minority college students with low acculturation and learning motivation or high acculturation and low learning motivation can become objects of the Matthew effect. However, this study also observed that in certain students, high acculturation and high learning motivation can prevent the Matthew effect. Thus, high acculturation is crucial for improving academic achievement in ethnic minority college students. A level of high learning motivation is a powerful moderator promoting the academic achievement of students with high acculturation.&lt;/p&gt;

Gender, Campus Sexual Violence, Cultural Betrayal, Institutional Betrayal, and Institutional Support in U.S. Ethnic Minority College Students: A Descriptive Study.

Women and ethnic minorities are at increased risk for campus sexual violence (CSV). Due to inequality, within-group victimization in marginalized communities includes cultural betrayal. Universities commit institutional betrayal (e.g., inadequate prevention) and institutional support (e.g., sensitivity). With a campus climate survey, the purpose of the study is to characterize, by gender, U.S. ethnic minority undergraduates' CSV, cultural and institutional betrayal, and institutional support. Participants (N = 222) were a random sample of ethnic minority undergraduates. College women experienced higher rates of CSV and institutional betrayal. Universities can implement a research agenda that centralizes the role of oppression in CSV.

Moderating Roles of Social Support in the Association between Hope and Life Satisfaction among Ethnic Minority College Students in China.

Ethnic minority college students in China are Chinese students who migrate from ethnic minority-dominant areas to Han-dominant areas to attend college. Acculturative stress would lead to maladjustments for ethnic minority college students in China, such as low levels of life satisfaction. To help improve the life satisfaction of these students, this study adopted resilience theory to explore the beneficial effects of hope and social support and their influencing mechanisms. The participants included 362 ethnic minority college students in Beijing, China, and a questionnaire method was used. The results indicated that Han social support had a promotive effect on life satisfaction, while hope did not have a promotive effect on life satisfaction. Moreover, Han social support moderated the relationship between hope and life satisfaction. Specifically, the effect of hope on life satisfaction was stronger under the condition of a higher level of Han social support compared with those under a lower level of Han social support. In conclusion, Han social support can play a promotive effect individually, while hope only affected life satisfaction when a high level of Han social support existed. Han social support should be strengthened to improve the life satisfaction among ethnic minority college students in China.

Effects of Bicultural Identity Integration and National Identity on COVID-19-Related Anxiety Among Ethnic Minority College Students: The Mediation Role of Power Values.

PurposeThe current study investigated the association between bicultural identity integration (BII, incorporating BII-harmony and BII-blendedness), national identity, and anxiety related to Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) among ethnic minority college students. In addition, this research examined the mediation role of power values in the relationship between BII, national identity, and COVID-19-related anxiety.MethodsThis cross-sectional research design made use of online surveys. Using convenience sampling, participants comprised 235 Chinese ethnic minority college students drawn from four colleges in the ethnic minority autonomous regions of China. Data were collected during June 2020. Participants mainly lived in ethnic minority communities or villages in southwest China before receiving higher education at urban campuses.ResultsCorrelation analysis revealed that BII-harmony, BII-blendedness, and national identity were significantly negatively correlated with COVID-19-related anxiety. Mediation model analysis showed that power values were significantly positively correlated with COVID-19-related anxiety. Power values play a mediating role in the relationship between BII-harmony, national identity, and COVID-19-related anxiety, and have an inhibitory effect on this relationship.ConclusionOur findings indicate that BII-harmony and national identity could have the function of protecting ethnic minority college students from COVID-19-related anxiety. Emphasizing individualistic personal power values could increase COVID-19-related anxiety, whereas a collectivist identity reduces anxiety. These findings could provide another perspective on psychological interventions to reduce anxiety during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Do trait psychological characteristics moderate sympathetic arousal to racial discrimination exposure in a natural setting?

Personality and psychological traits are known to influence how individuals react to and cope with stress, and thus, have downstream health and aging consequences. However, research considering psychological health traits as individual-level difference factors moderating the links been racism-related stress and health for racial and ethnic minorities in the United States is rare. Using intensive daily diaries and a wearable sensor that continuously recorded sympathetic nervous system arousal in a sample of racial and ethnic minority college students (80% African American, first-generation Black, or African; 20% Latinx), we linked arousal to racism-related experiences dynamically throughout the day as participants naturally went about their lives. Findings suggest that multiple traits are associated with increased arousal in real time when interpersonal discrimination is perceived, but that only anger and anxiety also predicted increased arousal during moments of rumination and reflection on race-related inequities. Vicarious discrimination exposure moments were also linked to suppressed arousal in general, but particularly for more anxious individuals. We use a stress appraisal and coping framework to elucidate the ways in which individual psychological differences may inform physiological responses to race-related stress. The biopsychosocial pathways by which cognitive appraisal and interpersonal race-related stress contribute to racial health disparities are also discussed.

The Needs of Group Counseling for Ethnic Minority College Students from the Perspective of Social Psychological Service

With the development of social economy and the improvement of learning quality and quality education requirements, the social attention to the psychological health of college students and social adaptability needs is also more and more high. The research shows that, due to the influence of various factors such as region, economy and culture, the social service needs of minority and Han university students will also be different at different levels. As the hope and future of all ethnic groups, minority college students are the backbone of inheriting, developing and innovating the traditional culture of ethnic groups. It is an important aspect of the development of ethnic education to pay attention to the psychological status of such a special group. At present, there are a lot of researches on the psychological health service needs of college students at home and abroad, but the researches on the psychological health service needs of minority college students are less, and mainly focus on the application. Therefore, the research on the needs of minority college students for group counseling and group counseling is of great theoretical significance.

Developing and testing the College Student Empowerment Scales for Racial/Ethnic Minorities.

Empowerment is defined as a process by which marginalized groups gain mastery over issues of concern to them. One such population is racial and ethnic minority college students. These students experience academic disparities while simultaneously relying on higher education to facilitate more equitable social outcomes for themselves and ultimately to strengthen U.S. society for all. Nonetheless, nearly four decades after Rappaport's introduction of the empowerment construct, we still have no core constructs or measure of them for understanding and assessing the empowerment of underrepresented students on college campuses. As an initial step to understand and evaluate empowerment for this important population, this study drew from previous qualitative research to create and field-test a quantitative measure with racial/ethnic minority college students. Exploratory factor analyses in independent samples identified 4 factors of empowerment: Self-Efficacy/Control, University Environment, Financial Confidence, and Student Racial/Ethnic Identity. Confirmatory factor analyses illustrated relationships between factors. Findings revealed that the measure, the College Student Empowerment Scales for Racial/Ethnic Minorities (CSES), is valid and reliable. Results emphasize internalized influences on psychological empowerment through an individual's identity within empowering university and societal contexts. Future directions are discussed, including research using this measure and opportunities for intervention in universities.
