  • Title: System-justifying beliefs and trajectories of global self-worth among Black and Latinx college students.
    Author: Negrete A, Hurd NM.
    Journal: Cultur Divers Ethnic Minor Psychol; 2021 Apr; 27(2):227-233. PubMed ID: 32191046.
    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVES: The present study investigated the relationship between system-justifying beliefs (i.e., believing the United States to be fair and just for all racial and ethnic groups) during the 1st semester of college and trajectories of self-worth across 4 years of college among Black and Latinx college students attending an elite predominantly White institution. METHOD: Participants in this 5-wave longitudinal study included 186 Black and Latinx college students (30% male; 26% 1st-generation college students; Mage = 18 years, SD = 0.36). RESULTS: The results of latent growth curve modeling analyses indicated that system-justifying beliefs were positively related to initial levels of self-worth and negatively related to trajectories of self-worth over time. CONCLUSIONS: Findings from the present study suggest that although initially beneficial, system-justifying beliefs may undermine self-evaluations among Black and Latinx college students over time.
