| Abstract: |
This study sought to understand the relationship between experiences of racism within academic settings and sense of belonging to the field of Counseling/Health Service Psychology (C/HSP) for BIPOC graduate students. Further, this study sought to understand the potential mediating role of engagement coping in this relationship, as well as the conditional effect of high, neutral, or low perception of race-related social support from faculty/peers. Two-hundred forty-nine BIPOC C/HSP students responded to survey questions measuring frequency of racial/ethnic microaggressions, sense of belonging to C/HSP, engagement styles of coping with racism (Education/Advocacy and Resistance), and perception of availability of racism-related social support from peers/faculty. Using Hayes (2018) PROCESS model 4, for simple mediation, a direct relationship was found between all study variables and sense of belonging except for engagement coping. However, engagement coping was shown to be a significant mediator in its own right. Using Hayes' (2018) PROCESS model 14, for moderated mediation, we failed to reject the null hypothesis as social support was not found to be a significant moderator at any level. Implications and future directions are highlighted. [The dissertation citations contained here are published with the permission of ProQuest LLC.
