Strayhorn, T. L. (2008). The role of supportive relationships in facilitating African American males\u2019 success in college. NASPA Journal, 45(1).<\/p>\n
Drawing on Sanford\u2019s notions of challenge and support, coupled with Tinto\u2019s theory on retention, this quantitative investigation sought to measure the association between supportive relationships and success in college for a sample of Black men. Results suggest that supportive relationships are associated with higher levels of satisfaction but not academic achievement as measured by grades. Implications for future policy, practice, and research are discussed in the context of academic and student affairs.<\/p>\n
