An Investigation of Racial Identity, Self-Esteem and Its Relationship to Academic Self-Concept among African American Undergraduate Students at Historically Black Colleges and Universities
Abstract
The academic success of African American students has received notable attention (Reyes, Brackett, Rivers, White & Salovey, 2012). Aronson, Fried and Good (2002) highlight that meager academic achievement among African American students often ends in African American students being categorized as having a poor academic self-concept. This study aims to determine if a significant and positive relationship exists between racial identity, academic self-concept, and self-esteem among African American undergraduate students.
