摘要
The present study explored connections between African identity, study habits, and academic achievements. Correlation analyses, using data from 96 Black high school students, indicated multiple connections between these factors. The most important finding was that a sense of collective identity, a subfactor of African identity, was positively related to academic achievement. Implications of the results for the improvement of school curriculums and environments are discussed.
