The College Student Belongingness Scale (CSBS) was used for the purpose of this study, and administered via an online survey sent to students living in gender-inclusive (GI) campus housing units and those living in gender-exclusive (GE) campus housing units. Analysis of covariance (ANCOVA), controlling for race and GPA, was conducted to test for statistically significant differences in respondents’ sense of belonging, and chi-square analyses were conducted to test for statistically significant differences on the basis of sexual orientations and gender identities between the two groups. There was no statistically significant difference in sense of belonging between two groups, but the ANCOVA revealed statistically significant differences in sense of belonging among students from different racial groups (specifically Asian and White students) and among students who have different levels of academic achievement as measured by GPA. Additionally, while there were no statistically significant differences in sexual orientation between the groups, there was a statistically significant difference in gender identity with more males than females living in gender-inclusive campus housing units. 2016-09-06 English text The Ohio State University / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=osu1460510145 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=osu1460510145 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: some rights reserved.
