Residential Affinity Efforts and Sense of Belonging
TABLE 1 (continued)
RAEs and Descriptions
RAE
Community spaces
Residential community introduction
program
Description
Physical lounge and study spaces within the residential
environment.
A standardized program near the beginning of each
semester designed to introduce residents to community
leaders, logos, slogans, signature events, and other
community-specific elements.
Residential community-specific
orientation
During orientation, residents are grouped by their residential
communities and participate in events together. Orientation
leaders are also paired with residents where they currently
live or formerly lived.
Residential community dinners
Other residents
Residential community social media
Quarterly meals hosted by the residence hall leadership team
to promote community among the residents.
Other students living in one's room, suite, hall, or building.
Branded community social media page used to share
highlights, program updates, and general information.
We acknowledge the overrepresentation of women and underrepresentation of
sophomores within our sample and advise caution when interpreting the results in
terms of these student demographic groups; however, other demographic characteristics
in terms of ethnicity, Pell Grant eligibility, and first-generation status are proportional.
Data Analysis
To answer the first research question of this descriptive, correlational study, we used
descriptive statistics and two correlational statistical tests. Specifically, in order to
determine which RAE contributed most to a student's perceived sense of belonging
to their residential community, we noted the frequencies and percentages of respondents'
selection of the top five contributors to their sense of belonging.
To answer the second research question on the relationship between RAEs (independent
variable) and students' perceived sense of belonging (dependent variable) to
their residential community, we conducted point-biserial correlation when equal variances
were present and Kendall rank correlation when equal variances were not present
in the sample or outliers existed when examining a boxplot. Perceived sense of belonging
was operationalized by the nine total subscales (Hoffman et al., 2002; Leach et al.,
2008) discussed earlier. Statistical significance for all tests was set at p < 0.05.
