Abstract Details

2017, Doctor of Philosophy in Urban Education, Cleveland State University, College of Education and Human Services.
Increasing diversity in psychology practice and training programs has been a focus of the profession within the last few decades. To continue to enhance diversity, trends within the minority pipeline must be continually monitored. Minorities are underrepresented in all areas of psychology. There has been rapid growth in undergraduate degree completion, but less growth for earned graduate degrees, especially among African Americans. Minority stress theory served as a theoretical framework to examine how racial and ethnic microaggressions affects African American psychology graduate students’ career attitudes. The current study used structural equation modeling to investigate the hypotheses: (a) There would be a negative relationship between racial and ethnic microaggressions and career attitudes. (b) The relationship between racial and ethnic microaggressions and career attitudes would be moderated by mentoring support. While no support was found for the present study’s hypotheses, the findings suggested that mentoring support was significantly related to career attitudes. Implications for theory, research, practice, and training are provided on how to retain African Americans in psychology graduate and training programs.
