“…Although we used scales that have been psychometrically validated on multiple large samples, this work has been conducted with primarily White and continuing-generation college students. For example, in one such study, the reliability coefficient of Academic Determination was .81 (vs. .67 in the current study) (Conn, 2017). Like most studies, the majority of participants in that study identified as White (65.1% vs. 23.2% in the current study), and only 19.1% identified as first-generation students (vs. 59.2% in the current study) (Conn, 2017).…”

More psychometric work and scale development is needed for underrepresented and misrepresented college students, as constructs such as Academic Determination may look different for different populations (Pérez & Sáenz, 2017).…”

“…Finally, the reliability was relatively low for one of the thriving quotient scales (Academic Determination), which is not ideal for analysis (Kline, 2005). The reliability for this subscale is markedly lower than previous studies (Conn, 2017;Schreiner et al, 2009;Vetter, Schreiner, McIntosh, & Dugan, 2017). Although we used scales that have been psychometrically validated on multiple large samples, this work has been conducted with primarily White and continuing-generation college students.…”

When college-based service learning is examined, outcomes are often analyzed in a univariate framework, and participants tend to be White and middle class (if demographic information is given). This examination is a survey of 198 students who were primarily underrepresented and misrepresented students attending a Hispanic Serving Institution. The goal was to discern the relationships among service learning, social insights, academics, personal insights, and civic responsibility within a multivariate framework that synthesized literatures regarding how underrepresented and misrepresented college students define their own success, and the development of civic engagement for similarly situated youth. Through path analytic modeling techniques, four models were assessed. In the retained model, social insights play a pivotal role, mediating the relation between service learning and academic outcomes, personal insights, and civic responsibility, with academic outcomes and personal insights also mediating the relation between social insights and personal responsibility.

“…As previously noted, SOC may be essential to college students because of its relation to academic success (e.g., Hoffman et al., ; Jacbos & Archie, ) and overall satisfaction with the college experience (Conn, ). Further, research has associated SOC with vital mental health issues such as feelings of loneliness, alienation, and negative moods (Hoffman et al., ; Jacbos & Archie, ), Given the increased awareness of potential mental health issues among college students, this makes the understanding of SOC even more pressing.…”

This study explores sense of community (SOC) among low‐income college students. The development of a SOC among college students, especially low‐income students, may be particularly vital because of its implications for student success. Six low‐income Arizona State University students were selected based on receipt of a prestigious last‐dollar scholarship. Using narrative inquiry, participants were interviewed about their understanding and experiences with communities. Interviews were audio recorded and transcribed. Participant narratives were created to provide context and in‐depth understanding of experiences. We identified the following themes: (a) mutual support and caring; (b) shared values and goals; (c) interaction and intentionality; and (d) community as self‐constructed, intersecting, and nonlinear. These findings expand existing literature on SOC, with an emphasis on low‐income students in university settings. This research offers an opportunity to examine ways in which universities and student services can provide students an opportunity to better understand their own SOC.

“…Moreover, only two empirical investigations in low impact journal (i.e., Christian Higher Education; IF = 0.17; 2019) were located that used Schreiner's (2010a) conceptualization. They showed thriving as marginally significant for predicting perceived return on tuition (Conn, 2017) and intent to graduate (Ash & Schreiner, 2016).…”
