Diverse Students’ Mental Health: Influences of Civic Learning Dimensions of Campus Climate

It is important to understand how students’ perceptions influence their mental health. We explored how perceptions of civic learning dimensions of campus climates interacted with race/ethnicity to affect the mental health of Asian, Black, Hispanic, and White college students. Findings indicate that mental health was not significantly different across institution or race/ethnicity group. Ethical and moral reasoning was the only climate factor that was a significant, positive predictor of mental health across groups.
