美国的拉美裔人口一直在增加，这影响了高等教育中拉美裔学生的数量。尽管西班牙裔学生人数迅速增加，但很少有关于西班牙裔学生大学成功的实证研究。本研究调查了新墨西哥大学西班牙裔学生参加整体本科研究项目对留校结果的影响。新墨西哥大学是一所公立的西班牙裔服务机构，2016年有47.3%的本科生是西班牙裔。本研究以Vincent Tinto的学生离开理论和Demetrious和Schmitz-Sciborski提出的挽留的五个关键因素作为研究模型的框架。预测变量包括人口统计学特征、学术属性和研究参与，因变量是留任结果。倾向评分匹配用于消除多重共线性的担忧。研究人员比较了两组西班牙裔学生——参加研究项目的学生和没有参加研究项目的学生——的学习成绩。结果表明，研究参与对学生的保留率有显著的正向影响。本科研究项目对西班牙裔学生留存率的影响
The Hispanic population in the United States has been increasing, which is affecting the number of Hispanic student population in the higher education. In spite of the rapid increase of Hispanic student population, little empirical research has been conducted on the Hispanic student’s college success. This study investigated the effect of participating in holistic undergraduate research programs on retention outcome of Hispanic students at The University of New Mexico. UNM is a public Hispanic-Serving Institution where 47.3 percent of undergraduate students are Hispanic in 2016. The Vincent Tinto’s theory of student departure and the five critical factors of retention developed by Demetrious and Schmitz-Sciborski were used as the framework of the research model. The predictor variables included demographic characteristics, academic attributes, and research participation, and the dependent variable was the retention outcome. Propensity score matching was used to remove the concern of multicollinearity. The retention outcomes of two groups, Hispanic students who participated in research programs and who did not participate, were compared. The results indicated that research participation had a statistically significant positive effect on student’s retention outcome.
