Poster Session IV

Keyword: LGBTQ+

Abstract: This study examined the dynamics between demographic factors, political orientations, stress, and academic disengagement among first-year undergraduate college students. Demographic differences were found for stress levels, political orientations, and academic disengagement. Political orientation mediated the relationship between gender and stress for heterosexual students, but not for sexual minorities.
