Abstract

This study examined a model that describes four features of African-Americans' social adjustment to predominantly White campuses. Multiple research methods were used to compare African-American and White students' social adjustment in order to determine whether the model is uniquely descriptive of African-American students' experiences. The authors found the model's features were not descriptive of White students' social adjustment.
