Description
Under the direction of Dr. Alex Wooten
The purpose of this study was to better understand the effects of microaggressions on the self-efficacy of ethnic minority students and how that impacts their motivation. This can help researchers identify ways in which states and counties can work to enhance motivation in underrepresented ethnic individuals from any educational level through interventions that work with aiding self-efficacy beliefs or target micro-aggressions and its impacts. This study surveyed a sample of varying backgrounds to assess the correlation between amount of microaggressions experienced, self-efficacy beliefs, and academic motivation.
