摘要：本研究采用现象学方法分析了在美国中西部一所以白人为主的大学获得博士学位的两名非裔美国女性的自我效能感。这项研究的结果表明，口头说服和替代体验是自我效能感的最强预测因素，因为这两名学生将他们的成功归功于支持他们的同龄人、家庭、教师和参与欢迎他们的社区。学生成功的挑战包括在发展学术轨迹时的孤立感，加上不参与或矛盾的教师，难以相处的论文委员会动态，以及不寻求帮助。自我效能感提供了一个有用的框架来帮助理解这些经历，以及在这些类型的机构中影响非裔美国女性研究生博士研究背景下学业成功的多个变量。
Abstract:This study used a phenomenological approach to analyze the self-efficacy of two African-American women obtaining doctorate degrees at one predominantly white institution in the Midwest United States. Findings from this study suggested that verbal persuasion and vicarious experiences were the strongest predictors of self-efficacy as the two students attributed their success to supportive peers, family, faculty and engaging in welcoming communities. Student challenges to success included feelings of isolation while developing an academic trajectory, compounded by uninvolved or ambivalent faculty, difficult dissertation committee dynamics, and not asking for help. Self-efficacy provided a useful framework to help understand these experiences and the multiple variables impacting academic success in the context of doctoral studies for African American women graduate students in these types of institutions.
