“…It is widely claimed in the existing literature that low socio-economic families are in strong association with students dropping out of their schooling (Astin & Cross, 1979;Bidgood et al, 2006;Chen & DesJardins, 2010;Effiong & Edet, 2020;Farah & Upadhyay, 2017;Hammond et al, 2007;De Janvry et al, 2006;Lofstrom, 2007;Phan & Vu, 2019;Rasmy et al, 2017;Rodgers, 2013;Rogers, 2009;Rumberger, 2001;Sohn, 2018;Terenzini et al, 1995;Tidwell, 1989;Tinto, 1975;Williamson, 2001;Woodfield, 2017;York et al, 1993). For instance, Lofstrom (2007) tested and confirmed there is a significant influence of poverty on dropout probability.…”

“…However, a high dropout rate of minority students remains a serious issue in different contexts. Student dropout harms a country's social and economic aspects (Tidwell, 1989). Rumberger (2001) argues that dropouts are more likely to commit crimes, and therefore pose a threat to society.…”

“…Rumberger (2001) argues that dropouts are more likely to commit crimes, and therefore pose a threat to society. A country's economic development may also be stalled if the dropout issue is not resolved (Kyophilavong et al, 2018;Rumberger, 2001;Tidwell, 1989). Knowing why students drop out can offer a useful direction in improving quality education (Rumberger, 2001).…”

“…That means existing literature has pointed out that there are certain circumstances contributing to students withdrawing from their studies, including family economic situation (Aina et al, 2018;Carvajal & Cervantes, 2018;etc. ), parents' low occupation status (Aina et al, 2018;Behr et al, 2020;etc.), family's low educational background (Tidwell, 1989;Tinto, 1975;etc. ), first-generation of higher education students (Dennis et al, 2005;Terenzini et al, 1995;etc.…”

According to existing literature, familial support has been shown to be a significant predictor of students’ success or failure in school. In this paper, we investigate family-related factors that contribute to minority students dropping out. A qualitative research approach was employed in this study, which involved 11 Hmong studentleavers as key interviewees. Participants were asked about their university education experiences and why they discontinued their studies. The data obtained from interviews were analyzed through qualitative content analysis. As the findings of the study indicate, four family-related factors were most prevalent in causing minority students to withdraw from their studies: family economic situation, parental attitudes, marriage/early parenthood, and home life situations. Future research in this area is strongly recommended.

The authors examined the achievement-related beliefs and behaviors of parents of economically disadvantaged African American youth, and the relations among parental factors and children's academic self-concept and achievement. Forty-one children and their primary caregivers were interviewed. Parents reported on their academic-related beliefs and behaviors. Children completed measures of academic self-concept and 2 standardized achievement tests: 1 during the summer and 1 at the end of the following school year. Significant and positive relations were found between parental belief and behavior measures within the domains of reading and math; however, parental beliefs were more strongly linked with child outcomes than were parents' achievement-oriented behaviors. The relation between parental beliefs and child outcomes was not mediated by children's academic self-concept. Results are discussed in light of models of family influences on achievement.

The author uses the idiom of autobiographical storytelling to explicate two important themes: How the complex phenomenon of 'belonging' results from the interactions of members of a nondominant group and those of a dominant group; and how the author himself has dealt with this phenomenon in his own developmental adaptation over the years. The concept of belonging is a cultural principle that should be throughly understood by mental health professionals if they are to deal effectively with the problem of cross-cultural adaptation. ©1995 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. * belonging •dominant group °nondominant group microaggression * storytelling * Editor's Note: Reflections articles feature authors' personal accounts of how culture has impacted their life experiences, professional development, or clinical practice.
