Chapter Highlights

In a project funded by the National Science Foundation, two surveys of students at Hispanic-Serving Institutions (HSI) were completed. The first resulted in input from 463 students at 14 Hispanic-Serving Institutions (HSIs) in New Mexico and Texas. The second included responses from 829 students at four HSIs in north Texas, a state university and three community colleges in its service area.
This chapter addresses findings from two related subsets of queries, locus of control questions and the Pearlin Mastery Scale.
On the first survey, Hispanic/Latinx students were found to have both a higher internal and higher external locus of control orientation than their non-Hispanic peers. Regression analysis of Pearlin Mastery Scale scores for the 829 individuals who responded to the second survey showed no significant differences by ethnicity/race, gender, age, status as a first-generation college student, type of institution attended, credit hours completed, years in college, and employment status.
These results have direct implications for programming at all HSIs in the south-central United States and, by extension, for the over 320 HSIs in the southwest United States.
