大学的多样性经验不仅因其在促进学生成长方面的作用而受到赞扬，而且还因其有助于未来参与多样性而受到赞扬。然而，支持后一种说法的证据相当有限，往往依赖于横截面分析。本研究探讨学生的第一年的多样性经验是否以及如何预测他们的高年级的多样性经验，并发现学生的积极和消极的多样性互动都与更多的参与多样性课程。此外，负多样性相互作用与正多样性相互作用的变化无关，反之亦然。所有的关系都是一致的，无论学生的开放性的多样性。
College diversity experiences have been praised not only for their role in promoting student growth but also for contributing to future engagement with diversity. However, the evidence supporting this latter claim is quite limited, often relying on cross-sectional analyses. This study examines whether and how students’ first-year diversity experiences predict their senior-year diversity experiences and finds that students’ positive and negative diversity interactions are both associated with greater participation in diversity coursework. Moreover, having negative diversity interactions is not associated with changes in positive diversity interactions or vice versa. All relationships are consistent regardless of students’ openness to diversity.
