TY - JOUR PY - 2006// TI - Racial identity attitudes, womanist identity attitudes, and self-esteem in African American college women attending historically black single-sex and coeducational institutions JO - Journal of college student development A1 - Watt, S. k. SP - 319 EP - 334 VL - 47 IS - 3 N2 - This study examines racial identity attitudes, womanist identity attitudes, and self-esteem of 111 African American college women attending two historically Black higher educational institutions, one coeducational and one single-sex. The major findings indicate that pre-encounter and encounter attitudes of racial and womanist identity are correlated with each other, but negatively correlated with self-esteem. Follow up analyses revealed that womanist or racial identity attitudes do not mediate self-esteem. Suggestions for future research are given and implications for student affairs practice are discussed.
