Social Inequality: Cultural Racism As A Predictor Of Collegiate Academic Success, Natasha L. Ball
Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies
The economic sustainability of an area is largely dependent on the education level of its population, yet little is known about the role cultural racism may play in academic success.

Health-Related Beliefs Among Low-Income African American Women And Their Perceptions About Obesity, Cenora Kimberly Akhidenor
Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies
The aim of this study was to explore the health-related beliefs and perceptions of low-income African American women regarding obesity. Phenomenology served as the conceptual framework for this study.

School Counselors' Activities In Predominantly African American Urban Schools, Lacretia T. Dye
Dissertations
Urban school reform has begun to penetrate the school counseling profession in both theory and practice.

However, little information is …

African American Male Student-Athletes: Identity And Academic Performance, Kathryn Mary O'Brien
Dissertations
The purpose of the current research was to examine racial, male and athletic identities and their individual and collective impact on the academic performance of African American male Division I student-athletes (AAMSAs). Data was collected using the Multidimensional Inventory of Black Identity (MIBI), the Male Role Norms Scale (MRNS), and the Athletic Identity Measurement Scale (AIMS). The MIBI is a measure of racial identity and is comprised of seven subscales: (1) centrality, (2) private regard, (3) public regard, (4) assimilation, (5) humanist, (6) minority, and (7) nationalist. The MRNS takes status, toughness and antifemininity into account to calculate a masculinity …
