Abstract

Data for the present study are drawn from over 600 responses from Black college men at multiples institutions. Three research questions guided the analysis, which includes multivariate statistical tests (e.g., ANOVA, regression). Preliminary findings indicate the the mean sense of belonging is 3.17 (SD = 0.73) and belonging scores were lower among Black college men with disabilities, compared to their non-disabled same-race male peers.
