Description
Understanding the role of support in student’s academic and career success can help universities improve the support resources offered to students. This study examines how income, race, and first-generation status interact to influence the prioritization and perceived importance of support mechanisms from university belonging, family career support, and peer support among students navigating their academic and career pathways. Support mechanisms were measured using the University Belonging Questionnaire (UBQ), Family Influence Scale (FIS), and Perceived Social Support (PSS). Data was conveniently sampled from Prolific and analyzed using an ANOVA and regression analysis.
