Belonging, concern about welfare, respect, and fairness were further analyzed by gender, age, race, LGBTQ+, religion, and position:

Race 22 : Overall perception of belonging, respect, fairness, and concern for welfare were associated with race/ethnicity (White=3.1; URM=2.8, Asian=3, F(2, 117)=5, p<.00). Difference in perception of peers’ concern for welfare, respect, fairness was also associated with race (M White =3.3, M URM =2.9, M Asian =3.2, F(2,117)=7, p<.00). Difference in perception of higher administrations’ concern for welfare, respect, fairness was not significant (White=2.9, URM=2.6, Asian=2.7). Feeling of belonging was also associated with race with URM feeling less part of the community than Whites (M Whites =3.29; M URM =2.71, F(2,115)=6.97, p<.00).

22 Race “Others” were excluded from analysis due to low sample size
