学生的归属感，或归属感，是很重要的，并已与动机，毅力和其他成果。然而，根据种族/民族和性别等因素，幸福感会有所不同[2]。在以前的工作中，计算机专业的学生在识别为女性和少数民族的一部分方面存在统计学上的显著差异[2]。在2019冠状病毒病大流行期间，自认为是男性的学生和不自认为是少数群体的学生的认同度下降，而自认为是少数群体的女性的认同度上升[3]。我们目前的研究显示，尽管重返校园，但未被认定为少数群体的男性和女性的认同度并未恢复到大流行前的水平，而被认定为少数群体的男性的认同度在统计上进一步显著下降。这项工作表明，需要进一步努力将学生的幸福感恢复到大流行前的水平，并可能深入了解事件如何影响幸福感。
Student sense of belonging, or belongingness, is important and has been associated with motivation, persistence, and other outcomes. However, belongingness varies according to factors such as race/ethnicity and gender [2]. In previous work, there have been statistically significant differences in the belongingness of computing students identifying as women and as part of a minority [2]. During the COVID-19 pandemic there was a reduction in the belongingness of students identifying as men, and those not identifying as being part of a minority, and an increase in the belongingness of women identifying as a minority [3]. Our current work shows that the belongingness of men and women not identifying as being part of a minority has not returned to pre-pandemic levels, despite returning to campus, and a further statistically significant drop in the belongingness of men who identify as part of a minority. This work shows that further efforts need to be made to restore student belongingness to pre-pandemic levels and may yield insight into how events affect belongingness.
