Description

There are 2.5 million Black college students in the United States. Sixty-two percent are women (U.S. Census Bureau, 2006). As a group, Black college students are vulnerable to normal developmental stress as are other college students in their experiences with academic pressure, relationship stress, and financial difficulties (Misra & McKean, 2000; Negga, Applewhite, & Livingston, 2007). Black college students also contend with the stress of racial discrimination, isolation as a racial minority, sensitive comments at predominantly White institutions (pwis), and more negative financial stress (Neville, Heppner, Ji, & Thye, 2004; Phinney & Hass, 2003). Black students at pwis experience less social support than Black students at Black colleges as well as White students at pwis (Negga, Applewhite, & Livingston, 2007). Low social support amidst high stress may explain the higher attrition rates among Black college students at predominantly White campuses. Despite the stressors facing Black college students at pwis, research on stress is limited. Negga, et. al, (2007) researched stress, self-esteem, and social support with 165 Black students at a pwi. Leading sources of stress were: (1) low grades, (2) time management, (3) death of family, and (4) class load. In an exploratory study on coping that included 130 male and female Black and Latino college students in New York, Chiang, Hunter and Yeh (2004) determined that school grades were the most frequent source of distress, followed by study skills, and relationships with family.
