This study explored the roles of demographic variables, grade point average, centrality (an aspect of racial identity), and student-professor interactions in predicting academic self-concept. A convenience sample of 132 African American students (104 females and 28 males) ranging in age from 18 to 38 ( Mage = 26), attending a historically Black university completed an online questionnaire assessing demographic information, grade point average, an aspect of racial identity from the Multidimensional Inventory of Black Identity, student-professor interactions, and academic self-concept. Results showed that grade point average and student-professor interactions characterized by faculty’s level of care were significant factors in predicting academic self-concept. These relationships may be important for understanding salient factors that influence the academic self-concept in African American college students.

Personal Conflict

The relationship between psychological and behavioral health and bother from non-college at-tending peers was assessed among 180 African American students attending a historically black universityin the southwestern region of the United States in the spring of 2013. Results: Students reporting stressrelated to influence from non-college attending friends reported significantly higher conflicts with theirpartners (5.31 vs. 1.26, p < .05), lower personal conflict resolution (2.00 vs. .70, p < .05), and lowerfamily connectedness (30.81 vs. 34.02, p < .05). Study results emphasize college students’ need for copingskills to address external culturally-linked stressors. The information gained from this research may providestrategic guidance in understanding the behavioral and psychosocial effects of extended peer networks onthe mental health of college students.
