4. La fuerza de las cosas
There are some limitations to this current mixed method pilot study. First, the majority of the participants reported attending school in a northeastern state and the institutions were
setting across the United States. This may result in the sample not being generalized to all undergraduate, graduate, and professional students in the United States. Secondly, the
Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support, Rosenberg Self Esteem Scale, and Racial and Ethnic Microaggressions are self-reporting tools that attempt to measure self-esteem, racial microaggressions and social support; however, these constructs may not describe authentic experiences or true lived perceptions among the participants (Dixon-Roman, 2017; Nadal et al., 2014, Yosso et al., 2009). Dixon-Roman (2017) also infers that there is inherent possibility that the constructs and psychometric tools that are utilized in the academy may not always reflect the reality of the populations that it intends to understand. Critical Race Theory is also vigilant of such psychometric research tools and analytics (Yosso, et al., 2009). The Dixon-Roman (2017) analysis is an essential contribution to the scholarship and fundamental when analyzing
experiences of oppression among historically marginalized groups (Yosso et al., 2009).
Thirdly, pilot studies often have a small sample size which may not meet sufficient power for generalization to the larger population. In addition, all of the students completed an electronic qualtrics survey with all of the scales in the same order which creates a potential for a priming effect of the Racial and Ethnic Microaggression Scale, followed by the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support, and Rosenberg Self Esteem Scale. The priming effect may be a possibility as the students completed the REMS, followed by the MSPSS, which may have impacted the RSC numbers. Lastly, the statistical analysis conducted was purely descriptive and correlational among the variables. Conducting a mediator analysis of variance, analysis of variance, or regression analysis might be able to provide a better understanding of the
relationships and protective factors among the constructs. It may also go further than chi-square with understanding multivariate and directional relationships among the variables. The sample
size for the qualitative interviews was also small and limited to the contextual experiences of the research participants. Lastly, the researcher did not include a secondary coder in the qualitative analysis process which may have been helpful with deciphering additional themes and mitigating potential bias (Padget, 2008).
There are various directions for future research that may result from this study. Wong et al., (2014) and Sue et al., (2007) suggests studying protective factors for college students that experience racial microaggressions. It was evident that total support, family support, and support from a significant other had fairly strong and positive correlations with self-esteem. This study may encourage further research on social support as a potential mediating factor for self-esteem. This pilot study is also an initial attempt of encouraging more mixed method research approaches to enhance an understanding and potential prevention science of such experiences in higher education (Wong et al., 2014). Future research is also essential with understanding if the
perception of self-esteem is racialized. Further research is also needed to explore the correlation between racial microaggressions, academic success, and well-being among college students.
This study also demonstrates the importance of having a large sample size and the potential benefit of measuring racial microaggressions for a longer period of time (Wong et al., 2014). In addition, there may be some opportunities to understand the impact of multiple microaggressions on the well-being of college students. Nadal et al., (2014) also suggests additional research on the impact of racial microaggressions on different ethnic/racial groups. This study did not demonstrate a significant correlation between the self-esteem and racial microaggression construct however, Nadal et al., (2014) suggests further study in this area as self-esteem has been correlated with social/emotional well-being.
