Abstract Details

2018, Doctor of Philosophy, University of Toledo, Higher Education.
The literature on psychological well-being of Black college students is limited to a few single institution studies, and as such, a nationwide, multi-institutional empirical study of the factors that predict psychological well-being was greatly needed by higher education scholars, student affairs professionals, faculty, and administrators. This dissertation analyzed what influence, if any, demographic and college environment variables have on psychological well-being among college students. Tests of group means found four demographic variables with significant differences in psychological well-being scores within each variable. Moreover, a regression analysis revealed one input variable, one between-college characteristic, five environment variables, and eight intermediate outcome variables as significant predictors of psychological well-being among Black college students (n = 899). The findings of this dissertation are intended to provide faculty and administrators information to promote psychological well-being that has been shown through this research to influence Black college students’ academic performance and college satisfaction.
