Objectives: For many low-income, Latinx and Asian first-generation students, family is a central motivator for obtaining a college degree. Yet, striving for upward mobility yields unanticipated psychological consequences. Specifically, family achievement guilt is a socioemotional experience related to "leaving family" to attend college. As a relatively understudied phenomenon, prior work has likely underrepresented the ways low-income, Latinx and Asian first-generation students experience guilt in the university. To address this gap, the current study aimed to refine the concept of family achievement guilt by exploring its different facets. Method: We utilized in-depth, semistructured interviews with 34 low-income, Latinx and Asian first-generation students. Results: Using both inductive and deductive analytic methods, we constructed four facets of guilt. Participants shared feeling guilt related to leaving family behind, having more privileges in the university context, becoming culturally different than family members, and experiencing financial distress. Conclusions: Unpacking family achievement guilt experiences of a fast-growing student population contributes to our understanding of theory and of possible support mechanisms.

低收入、拉丁裔和亚洲第一代学生的家庭成就内疚的各个方面。

目标：对于许多低收入、拉丁裔和亚洲第一代学生来说，家庭是获得大学学位的主要动力。然而，努力向上流动会产生意想不到的心理后果。具体来说，家庭成就内疚是一种与“离开家庭”上大学有关的社会情感体验。作为一个研究相对较少的现象，之前的研究可能没有充分代表低收入、拉丁裔和亚洲第一代学生在大学中体验内疚的方式。为了弥补这一差距，目前的研究旨在通过探索其不同方面来完善家庭成就内疚的概念。方法：我们对 34 名低收入、拉丁裔和亚洲第一代学生进行了深入的半结构化访谈。结果：使用归纳和演绎分析方法，我们构建了内疚的四个方面。参与者分享了与离开家人、在大学环境中拥有更多特权、在文化上与家庭成员不同以及经历财务困境相关的内疚感。结论：解开快速增长的学生群体的家庭成就内疚经历有助于我们理解理论和可能的支持机制。（PsycInfo 数据库记录 (c) 2021 APA，保留所有权利）。解开快速增长的学生群体的家庭成就内疚经历有助于我们理解理论和可能的支持机制。（PsycInfo 数据库记录 (c) 2021 APA，保留所有权利）。解开快速增长的学生群体的家庭成就内疚经历有助于我们理解理论和可能的支持机制。（PsycInfo 数据库记录 (c) 2021 APA，保留所有权利）。
