Özet:
Latino/as are the largest minority group within the United States and have the fastest projected population growth within the United States but currently have the lowest baccalaureate attainment rate of any racial or ethnic group. Traditional methods of measuring and supporting Latino/a students have not been successful and need reevaluation. Thriving has emerged as a concept that describes the psychological engagement required for students to succeed (Schreiner, 2010b). Students thrive when they function optimally academically, socially, and psychologically. The study was guided by the research question: To what extent do students' characteristics and campus experiences contribute to thriving for Latino/a students attending HSIs? Based upon a review of the relevant literature, a hypothesized structural model for explaining Latino/a students' thriving was developed. Thriving is measured using the Thriving Quotient, a 24-item online survey that has been found reliable in predicting traditional measures of student success such as college GPA and persistence. A sample of 501 Latino/a students attending 5 Hispanic-serving institutions participated in this study, and their responses were analyzed using structural equation modeling. The final model predicted 73% of the variation within Latino/a students' thriving. Students' Psychological Sense of Community (beta = .684), Institutional Integrity (beta = .527), tuition worth (beta = .433), and Spirituality (beta = .333) had the largest total effects on students' thriving. Additional variables were significant but indirect contributors to the variation in student thriving, with much smaller total effects. Although many of these variables are congruent with previous literature, the emergence of financial issues as a significant predictor of Latino/a students' thriving represents a new finding within this study. Further discussion of these results, how the results agree with or diverge from the current literature, and how institutions might apply these results are also provided.
