Procedure

The MMSI survey was conducted during the academic semester of Fall 2011. Of the 1,443 students who participated in the study, 100 African American males were selected for this chapter. The sample was divided into those who attended one of the three HBCUs and those who attended another type of institution. All results presented in this chapter are provided separately for these two groups. The primary method of data analysis consisted of descriptive statistics involving comparisons of those students who attended an HBCU and those who attended another type of institution. Frequencies, percentages, means, and standard deviations were used. In addition, inferential comparisons between the two groups were performed using chi-square tests of independence (when comparing the two groups on a categorical variable such as attending a public high school or not) and Mann-Whitney tests (when comparing the two groups on an ordinal variable such as parents’ educational attainment, high school GPAs, and the items on the educational experiences scales). Two-tailed tests and an alpha level of .05 were used for all inferential tests.
