Abstract
We explored the impact of values affirmation writing (n=34) compared to reflective journaling (n=35) on the mental and social health and academic performance of racial/ethnic minoritized students. There was a significant interaction between time and condition on anxiety, wellbeing, and belonging, and a significant main effect of time on loneliness.
