Racial Identity Change Among White Graduate Students
Abstract
This qualitative research study explored racial identity change among a group of White graduate students who took a multicultural course required for a master’s degree in counseling and psychology. Using weekly journal entries and reflection papers as data, the researcher tracked each student’s racial identity development from the beginning to the end of the course. The results showed that students developed more nonracist identities toward the end of the course. Their racial identities followed the trajectory described by Helms (1994) in her White Racial Identity (WRID) model. This study provides evidence that thoughtful classroom instruction can help students unlearn racial attitudes and replace them with more culturally inclusive beliefs.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
