STUDENT INVOLVEMENT AND RACIAL IDENTITY ATTITUDES AMONG AFRICAN-AMERICAN MALES

The relationship between student involvement and racial identity attitudes among African American males was examined. The Student Involvement Survey (SIS), and the Racial Identity Attitude Scale (RIAS-B) were administered to 117 African American males at 10 predominantly White universities. A significant relationship was found among the 4 subscales of the RIAS-B and the SIS total. Recommendations for student affairs practitioners working with African American students are presented.
