“…The findings point to several conclusions about the 92 heterosexual White college men in the present study. First, the participants indicated that they learned from diversity courses and discussions on campus, confirming research conducted on the benefits of diversity engagement for White men (Engberg, 2004;Hurtado, 2005;Sax, 2009;Spanierman et al, 2008).…”

“…Na tabela 1 apresentamos a média e o desvio-padrão (dentro de parêntesis) dos resultados nas sete dimensões do questionário, considerando os estudantes em função do país, se pelo menos um dos pais tem ou não formação superior (C/FormSup ou S/FormSup, respetivamente) e do sexo. Os resultados do presente estudo sugerem que os estudantes, ao ingressarem no ES, apresentam expectativas académicas elevadas, o que tem sido verificado noutros estudos (Almeida et al, 2003;Baker et al, 1985;Cook & Leckey, 1999;Smith & Wertlieb, 2005 (Lopez, 2014;Sax, 2009;Sax & Harper, 2007;Zeldin et al, 2008). Se cruzarmos o país de origem e a existência de, pelo menos, um dos pais com formação superior, verificase um efeito significativo dessa interação nas dimensões Por outro lado, os estudantes espanhóis cujos pais apresentam formação académica superior parecem apresentar níveis mais baixos de expectativas, situação que contraria a investigação na área e justifica análises posteriores.…”

“…This study also makes an important contribution to the literature by focusing on diversityrelated processes, not simply main effects. While recent research on the impact of college diversity experiences has examined moderators of the link between diversity experiences and student outcomes (e.g., Bowman, 2009Bowman, , 2010aBowman, , 2011Denson, 2009;Denson & Chang, 2010;Loes, 2009;Nelson Laird & Niskode-Dossett, 2010;Padgett et al, 2010;Sax, 2009), the underlying theory and processes through which these effects occur remain understudied. Future research should further explore these issues, such as the potentially interrelated roles of emotion and disequilibrium in promoting student growth and the extent to which cognitive and emotional growth are associated with each other.…”
