In response to the growing numbers of minoritized students (e.g., low-income, first-generation, students of color) transitioning into U.S. systems of higher education, researchers have developed transition-assistance strategies, such as psychologically wise-story interventions. Through a rigorous, theory-driven approach, wise-story interventions use stories to encourage students to develop adaptive meanings about college-transition challenges, subsequently allowing students to persist. Yet there is one critical distinction between existing wise-story interventions. Well-known examples endorse a color-evasive message that all students, regardless of their demographic backgrounds, share similar struggles when adjusting to college. One variation in wise-story interventions ties transition struggles explicitly to students’ identities, adopting more of a multicultural perspective. Drawing from diversity frameworks, we offer in this article a comparative analysis of these variations; we outline under what conditions, for whom, and through which processes these varying approaches to identity affect student outcomes. In this discussion, we reflect on both the strengths and challenges of wise-story interventions and offer considerations for extending these approaches. Specifically, we ask whether integrating critical perspectives into wise-story interventions better addresses the experiences of minoritized students as they navigate institutions historically built for dominant groups.

复杂的大学过渡故事:智慧故事干预中多元化方法的优势和挑战

为了应对越来越多的少数族裔学生(例如,低收入、第一代、有色人种学生)过渡到美国高等教育系统,研究人员制定了过渡援助策略,例如心理上的明智故事干预。通过严格的、理论驱动的方法,明智的故事干预使用故事来鼓励学生发展对大学过渡挑战的适应性意义,从而让学生坚持下去。然而,现有的明智故事干预措施之间存在一个关键区别。众所周知的例子支持了一个回避颜色的信息,即所有学生,无论他们的人口背景如何,在适应大学时都有类似的挣扎。明智故事干预的一种变体将过渡斗争与学生的身份明确联系起来,采用更多的多元文化视角。借鉴多样性框架,我们在本文中对这些变化进行了比较分析;我们概述了这些不同的身份认同方法在什么条件下、为谁以及通过哪些过程影响学生的成绩。在本次讨论中,我们反思了智慧故事干预的优势和挑战,并提供了扩展这些方法的考虑因素。具体来说,我们询问将批判性观点整合到明智的故事干预中是否能更好地解决少数族裔学生在历史上为主导群体建造的机构中的经历。以及这些不同的身份认同方法通过哪些过程影响学生的学习成果。在本次讨论中,我们反思了智慧故事干预的优势和挑战,并提供了扩展这些方法的考虑因素。具体来说,我们询问将批判性观点整合到明智的故事干预中是否能更好地解决少数族裔学生在历史上为主导群体建造的机构中的经历。以及这些不同的身份认同方法通过哪些过程影响学生的学习成果。在本次讨论中,我们反思了智慧故事干预的优势和挑战,并提供了扩展这些方法的考虑因素。具体来说,我们询问将批判性观点整合到明智的故事干预中是否能更好地解决少数族裔学生在历史上为主导群体建造的机构中的经历。
