本研究探讨了低收入大学生的社区意识（SOC）。大学生（尤其是低收入学生）的 SOC 发展可能尤为重要，因为它对学生的成功具有重要意义。亚利桑那州立大学的六名低收入学生因获得著名的最后一美元奖学金而被选中。通过叙述性调查，参与者接受了采访，了解他们对社区的理解和经历。访谈进行了录音和转录。创建参与者叙述是为了提供背景和对经历的深入理解。我们确定了以下主题： (a) 相互支持和关怀； (b) 共同的价值观和目标； (c) 互动和意向性； (d) 社区是自我构建的、交叉的和非线性的。这些发现扩展了有关 SOC 的现有文献，重点关注大学环境中的低收入学生。这项研究提供了一个机会来研究大学和学生服务机构如何为学生提供更好地了解自己的 SOC 的机会。
This study explores sense of community (SOC) among low-income college students. The development of a SOC among college students, especially low-income students, may be particularly vital because of its implications for student success. Six low-income Arizona State University students were selected based on receipt of a prestigious last-dollar scholarship. Using narrative inquiry, participants were interviewed about their understanding and experiences with communities. Interviews were audio recorded and transcribed. Participant narratives were created to provide context and in-depth understanding of experiences. We identified the following themes: (a) mutual support and caring; (b) shared values and goals; (c) interaction and intentionality; and (d) community as self-constructed, intersecting, and nonlinear. These findings expand existing literature on SOC, with an emphasis on low-income students in university settings. This research offers an opportunity to examine ways in which universities and student services can provide students an opportunity to better understand their own SOC.
