The Impact of a Differential Social Power System on Latinos' Attitudes Toward the High School and the Community College Experience

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

The perceptions of Mexican American students’ school attitudes toward the community college and high school experiences were examined in relation to a high‐USPI (unequal social power influence) environment (higher percentage of Anglos than Mexican Americans) and a low‐USPI environment (lower percentage of Anglos than Mexican Americans). A three‐factor analysis of variance indicated significant differences in attitudes and school experiences.
