ABSTRACT

This phenomenological study explored the ways women served as validating agents for Latino men who had transferred from a community college to a four-year institution. Informed by Rendón’s theory of validation, participants expressed numerous ways in which women figures (e.g., mothers, sisters, significant others) were sources of validation across their pre and post transfer experience. Findings yielded the need for increased involvement of women in men of color initiatives, compensation for emotional labor performed by women, and engagement opportunities for women family members. The authors provide recommendations for research and practice.

探索女性作为拉丁裔男性在其转移成功中的验证代理人的作用

摘要

这项现象学研究探讨了女性如何充当拉丁裔男性的验证代理人，这些拉丁裔男性从社区学院转到四年制机构。在 Rendón 的验证理论的启发下，参与者表达了女性形象（例如，母亲、姐妹、重要的其他人）在其转移前后经历中作为验证来源的多种方式。调查结果表明，有必要增加女性对有色人种男性的参与、对女性情感劳动的补偿以及女性家庭成员的参与机会。作者为研究和实践提供了建议。
