在试图解释较低的拉丁美洲大学毕业率，目前的研究集中在集体主义的亲属和非亲属帮助的情况。样本包括美国西南部一所四年制大学的60名学生。结果揭示了种族与非亲属集体主义之间的重要性：与非拉丁裔美国大学生相比，拉丁裔美国大学生对非亲属群体的集体主义色彩明显更强。各种支持系统的使用可能会为拉丁美洲人较低的大学毕业率提供一些必要的补救措施。文化敏感性培训和项目开发，以促进拉丁美洲大学生的经验和成功的影响进行了讨论。
In an attempt to explain the lower Latino college graduation rate, the current study focuses on collectivism in kin and nonkin helping situations. The sample comprised 60 students at a 4-year college in the southwestern United States. Results revealed significance between ethnicity and nonkin collectivism: Latino American college students were significantly more collectivistic toward nonkin groups compared to their non-Latino American counterparts. The use of various support systems may shed some light on the necessary remedy for Latinos' lower college graduation rate. Implications are discussed for cultural sensitivity training and program development to foster the experience and success of Latino American college students.
