The Relationship Between Attitudes Toward Diversity and Overall Satisfaction of University Students by Race

First‐ and 3rd‐year university students were surveyed regarding cultural attitudes and climate. Comfort in cross‐cultural situations and respect for other cultures correlated with overall satisfaction for all students. However, the more Asian Americans, Hispanic Americans, and Whites were aware of diversity and changing their behavior accordingly, the less satisfied they were. Awareness of diversity was not related to overall satisfaction for African Americans.
