Abstract:The purpose of this study is to determine the factors related to the research productivity of Black PhD students at predominantly White institutions (PWIs). Using Weidman, Twale, and Stein’s model of graduate student socialization, the author investigated the possible relationship between research productivity and the student’s personal and academic characteristics. The participants (N = 332) were all self-identified Black current PhD students mostly matriculating in the South. Using binary logistical regression analysis, the author found stage in doctoral studies, funding, levels and research-related interaction with faculty and peers influenced research productivity. Implications for policy and practice will be discussed as well as future research opportunities.
