Psychological disengagement represents a coping mechanism used to resist negative evaluations. Ethnic minority students tend to disengage by devaluing the academic domain, which allows them to resist the negative impact poor grades have on their self-esteem. For ethnic majorities, disengagement can take the form of situation-specific discounting of a single grade or course. For high academic achievers, disengagement allows the student to persist in the face of adversity, but for low academic achievers disengagement can lead to the wholesale rejection of academic success and high rates of dropping out, but such patterns vary by ethnicity. This research report examines the relationship between academic performance and self-esteem for a small number of New York City college students and reveals that the pattern of disengagement along racial lines is anything but predictable.
