- Abstract:
- Aims of the study were to examine the relationship among racial mistrust, collective self-esteem, and academic achievement in minority students. Participants were 48 middle-school students. Half of these students attended a predominantly minority institution and the other half attended a predominantly non-minority institution. Students were asked to complete the Racial Mistrust Scale (Albertini, 2004), a modified version of the general Collective Self-Esteem Scale (Luhtanen & Crocker, 1992), and to state their GPA. Findings revealed that levels of racial mistrust did not vary depending on the racial composition of the school a child attended. Furthermore findings indicated that Hispanic students reported higher levels of racial mistrust than Black students.
