Communication African American Students Black Students Higher Education Cultural Contracts Theory Identity Identity Negotiation In this study, I sought to understand the parallel of Black identity and experiences in the context of Predominately White Institutions (PWIs) and Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs). In utilizing Cultural Contracts Theory, Identity Negotiation, and Communication Theory of Identity as its conceptual framework this study takes a grounded theory approach to exploring Black students’ experiences at different race institutions and the extent to which they feel culturally supported. The primary aim of this study is to understand whether one institutional space provides greater opportunities for enhancing self-efficacy and/or affirmation for Black students than the other. The findings show that HBCU graduates gained a sense of confidence from their institution that made them less likely to conform or assimilate in contexts where ready-to-sign contracts are present. The findings also provide insights into higher education in America and reflect an initial exploration of the concepts of identity affirming spaces and identity fulfillment.African American Students, Black Students, Higher Education, Cultural Contracts Theory, Identity, Identity Negotiation, HBCU, PWI, Self-efficacy. 2018-09-21 English text University of Cincinnati / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ucin152232012258229 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ucin152232012258229 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
